Building Intelligence Readiness Scorecard
Answer a short checklist to score how ready your building is for unified intelligence.
This is a planning-grade self-assessment. A puniq readiness audit verifies each area on site and maps the exact path to a unified, owner-controlled intelligence layer.
About this tool
A truly intelligent building is not about how new the equipment is, it is about how well the systems talk to each other and to you. This scorecard checks the six foundations that decide whether your building can run as one unified, owner-controlled intelligence layer instead of a stack of disconnected, vendor-siloed systems.
Answer six Yes or No questions about your BMS, open protocols, sub-metering, analytics, automated fault detection, and secure remote access. Each Yes adds points, and your total lands on a 0 to 100 readiness score.
How to read your score
Below 40 is Early: systems are mostly manual or siloed, with large room to gain. 40 to 70 is Developing: a foundation exists but data and automation are partial. Above 70 is Advanced: your building is close to running as a single intelligent system. The gaps list shows exactly which missing foundations to close first, and how many points each one is worth.
puniq is vendor-neutral, so the path it recommends favors open protocols like BACnet and KNX over any single supplier's stack. See the Vendor Lock-in Risk Assessment to check how free your systems are to evolve.
Frequently asked
What does a low readiness score mean?
It usually means your systems are siloed by vendor and run on fixed schedules, so you cannot see or control them as one. That is common, and it is exactly where the largest energy and operating gains sit.
Do I need to replace equipment to improve my score?
Rarely. Most readiness gaps are closed by adding open-protocol gateways, sub-meters, and an analytics layer on top of existing equipment, not by ripping it out.
Why does this scorecard care so much about open protocols?
Open protocols like BACnet, KNX, and Modbus are what let systems from different vendors share data and be controlled together. Without them, true unified intelligence is impossible.
What happens after I get my score?
Use the gaps list to prioritize. A puniq readiness audit then verifies each area on site and produces a phased roadmap to a unified, owner-controlled platform.
