Most firms will buy a 2024 prompt-engineering course to keep up with 2026 agents. The AI Training Scorecard is a one-page diagnostic — six questions, scored out of twelve — that tells you whether a program (yours or a vendor's) actually builds an AI-native team, or just earns a certificate.
The Problem
Agents built on the latest models now run for hours on a single instruction. The AI training most firms will buy this year still drills prompt syntax the models already outgrew — because that format is structured, assessed, and claimable.
The skills that actually build an AI-native team are learned through reps on your own work, and the most valuable of them may not count as CPD at all. Before you spend a dollar or an hour, you need a way to tell the difference. That's what the scorecard does.
What's Inside
A reusable instrument you can run against any program — the one you're considering, the one you already bought, or the training your own firm delivers.
Each question has a clear anchor for what a 0, 1, or 2 looks like — so you score what the training actually does, not what the brochure claims.
Every question is grounded in real practice work — what "your work," "an artifact," and "recognition" look like in a bookkeeping, tax, or advisory context.
Total out of twelve lands you in one of three bands, each with a next move. Anything you score low goes straight onto a "fix these first" list.
The Diagnostic
Real client files with their mess intact — or a clean demo ledger that never misbehaves the way live data does.
An encoded process, a prompt library, a correction log — or a completion certificate and nothing reusable.
Spotting confident-but-wrong output and explaining why — or just generating more output, faster.
A named workflow that actually changes next week — or knowledge that sits unused.
Delegation reps for seniors, recognition reps for juniors — or the same generic course for everyone.
A before-and-after of what the team can now do — or hours completed and a certificate earned.
