Digital Readiness Assessment
DSRQ-40 is a proposed 40-event assessment that measures data literacy, AI judgment, problem-solving, and technical communication.
Independent proposed framework. Not an official military qualification.
More data and more AI do not automatically produce better decisions. Personnel must know how to understand information, verify results, and use digital tools responsibly.
Recognize useful, missing, outdated, or unreliable data.
Give clear instructions, verify results, and protect sensitive information.
Show where personnel are strong and where more development is needed.
The assessment includes 40 events across six levels of increasing difficulty.
Distance labels represent increasing complexity, not physical distance or weapons proficiency.
Recognize essential data and AI terms.

The result is designed to show what a learner understands, where more practice is needed, and which development paths may be worth exploring.
