AI Technical Debt Calculator
10 questions across your AI systems, models, agents, and governance. A debt score out of 100, a severity rating, and exactly where the debt is concentrating.
The Crescent AI Technical Debt Calculator estimates the engineering debt accumulated across AI systems, models, agents, prompts, and governance, then identifies where the largest risks are concentrated.
AI Systems Inventory
How many distinct AI systems are running, and how well are they tracked?
How it works
Answer 10 questions
Each covers a category: systems inventory, models, agents, prompts, integrations, manual processes, documentation, duplicated infrastructure, evaluations, and monitoring.
Higher points mean more debt
Unlike the other assessments, a higher score here is worse — it reflects more untracked, undocumented, or ungoverned AI surface area.
Get a 0-100 debt score
Points are summed and normalized to a 0-100 scale, with a severity tier from Low to Critical.
See where debt concentrates
The top 5 highest-debt categories are ranked with a specific remediation action for each.
When should I use this?
- Multiple AI systems or agents have shipped over time without a shared inventory.
- No one can say for certain how many models, agents, or prompts are currently live.
- You're about to add another AI system and want to know what you're building on top of.
Who is this for?
- Engineering leads and platform teams governing more than one AI system.
- CTOs assessing risk before adding headcount or scope to the AI stack.
- Teams inheriting AI systems built by contractors or a previous team.
