AI-DLC Starter Kit
Do you need three separate purchases to start an AI-DLC adoption, or one connected starting point?
The vocabulary, the readiness diagnosis, and the financial business case — the three instruments an organisation needs before committing a pilot team or budget to AI-driven development — in one purchase, built to carry the same terminology and assumptions from first term to funded business case.
Delivered as two Excel workbooks plus a link to the AI-DLC Dictionary of Terms. Download immediately after purchase.

The AI-DLC Starter Kit is a bundle of three connected instruments — the AI-DLC Dictionary of Terms, the AI-DLC Adoption Readiness Assessment, and the AI-DLC ROI & Business Case Model — priced at $99 against a combined individual total of $118 for the two paid instruments, with the Dictionary included as a companion reference.
Starting an AI-DLC adoption raises three questions before anyone can act.
What do these terms actually mean? Is this organisation ready? And can the case for doing this survive a CFO's first question? Answering these one purchase at a time, in the wrong order, is the most common way an AI-DLC adoption stalls before it starts.
Three instruments, in the order you'll actually use them.
Start with the vocabulary, establish a scored readiness baseline, then build the business case — each instrument feeds the next.
- AI-DLC Starter Kit
- A bundled entry point to the Viksya AI-DLC Stack, combining a free vocabulary reference with two paid decision instruments — a readiness diagnostic and a financial business case model — so an organisation can move from "what does this mean" to "are we ready" to "can we fund it" without three separate purchases.
Every component, explained.
10 Excel tabs across two workbooks, formula-based throughout — no macros, no VBA — plus full access to the A–Z dictionary.
What you'd pay separately, and what the Kit costs.
The Dictionary is free on its own page and stays free here — it's included, not discounted. The saving is on the two paid instruments.

Built for the people standing at the start of an AI-DLC decision.
Move from unfamiliar vocabulary to a scored readiness baseline to a fundable business case, without three disconnected purchases.
Sequence a SAFe-to-AI-DLC migration against evidence — readiness first, then a business case anchored to that evidence.
Bring a complete, consistently-worded AI-DLC starting toolkit into a new client engagement instead of assembling one from scratch.
Already have the Readiness Assessment or ROI Model? Each instrument is also available individually if you don't need the full Starter Kit.

What's included in the AI-DLC Starter Kit?
The AI-DLC Starter Kit bundles three instruments: the AI-DLC Dictionary of Terms (a free, open reference), the AI-DLC Adoption Readiness Assessment (a 25-criteria Excel diagnostic), and the AI-DLC ROI & Business Case Model (a 6-tab Excel financial model). Bought individually the two paid instruments total $118; the Starter Kit is $99, with the Dictionary included as a companion reference.
How much do I save buying the Starter Kit instead of separately?
The AI-DLC Adoption Readiness Assessment ($39) and the AI-DLC ROI & Business Case Model ($79) total $118 bought separately. The Starter Kit is $99 — a $19 saving — and includes the AI-DLC Dictionary of Terms, which is free on its own, as a companion reference so the whole starting point ships in one purchase.
What order should I use the three instruments in?
Start with the Dictionary if AI-DLC vocabulary — Bolts, Units of Work, Mob Elaboration, Verification Gates — is new to your organisation. Run the Adoption Readiness Assessment next to establish a scored, defensible readiness baseline before committing a pilot team. Build the ROI & Business Case Model last, once readiness confirms the organisation can proceed, to turn your own delivery economics into a board-ready business case.
Is the AI-DLC Dictionary really free — why is it in a paid bundle?
Yes. The AI-DLC Dictionary of Terms is published free and remains free as a standalone page. It's included in the Starter Kit as a companion reference so buyers get the vocabulary, the readiness diagnostic, and the business case model in a single purchase and a single download location, not because access to it is being sold.
What format do I receive the Starter Kit in?
Two Excel workbooks — the Adoption Readiness Assessment (4 tabs) and the ROI & Business Case Model (6 tabs, with a 15-page PDF guide) — delivered as instant downloads, plus a link to the AI-DLC Dictionary of Terms, which is a web page rather than a download.
