The free AI Readiness Scan
One file. It reads your machine and gives you one plain verdict — fix it in place or reinstall — plus which local AI models your hardware can actually run. Read-only, nothing uploaded, no account, and it works with the internet off.
Download it now — free.
Before you run it — the honest heads-up
Windows will try to stop you. That’s expected.
This tool isn’t code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen will show a blue “Windows protected your PC” box the first time you run it. Every new, unsigned program trips it — it isn’t a sign anything’s wrong. To continue, click More info, then Run anyway.
Rather not take our word for it? Good instinct. The launcher is printed in full below — it only reads your system and writes one local report. Read it first, then decide.
What it actually does
It looks at what’s really going on — disk space and hidden virtual-disk bloat, partition layout, startup programs, browser download drift, and disk health — then gives you one plain verdict: fix this machine in place, or reinstall Windows. It leans hard toward “fix”; most machines that feel doomed aren’t.
It also reads your graphics hardware the accurate way — real VRAM, not the 4 GB ceiling Windows tools often misreport — and tells you which local AI models your machine can actually run, tiered against builds we’ve verified on real hardware.
What it will never do
- Change anything. Every check is read-only.
- Phone home, upload data, or use the internet at all.
- Tell you to reinstall unless the numbers genuinely support it.
A real scan — this machine
Exactly what comes back, from an actual run.
FUTURE MAVEN · AI READINESS SCAN
Your machine’s readiness report
Fixable — and mostly already fine
- 119.6 GB free of 292.1 GB · 40.9% free space
- 31.9 GB RAM · 12 GB GPU memory · 26 startup programs
Why
- 119.6 GB free (40.9% of 292.1 GB) is a healthy margin.
- 26 startup programs found — worth a look regardless of the disk verdict above.
What to do next
- Nothing further needed right now.
Local AI: what this machine can run
- Graphics hardware: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 12 GB of video memory.
- Matches our verified reference tier (12 GB): qwen3:14b at full quality, qwen3:8b for everyday speed, qwen2.5-coder:7b for coding, llama3.2:3b for fast small tasks, nomic-embed-text for embeddings — about 21 GB of disk.
- This exact set has been installed and verified end-to-end on identical-class hardware: every model fully resident in GPU memory with live inference.
Generated 2026-07-24 21:56. This is the free diagnostic — for guided help acting on these findings, Future Maven’s Claude Code toolkit picks up exactly where it leaves off.
Get it, read it, run it
Put both files in the same folder (Downloads is fine). Double-click Scan.bat. Windows asks permission once — the blue admin prompt — for two read-only checks (Windows Update storage and antivirus status). A minute or two later, your report opens in your browser.
What’s in Scan.bat — the file you double-click
@echo off
rem Future Maven AI Readiness Scan - double-click launcher.
rem Windows opens .ps1 files in a text editor by default; this launcher exists so
rem the scan is genuinely "download and run" for someone who has never seen PowerShell.
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "%~dp0Scan.ps1" %*
if /i not "%~1"=="-Silent" pauseThat’s the whole launcher: it just runs Scan.ps1 with PowerShell. (Windows opens .ps1 in Notepad by default, so the .bat makes it a real double-click.)
What Scan.ps1 checks — every category, all read-only
- Disk space and free-space margin on the system drive
- Reclaimable Windows component-store (WinSxS) bloat — via one elevated, read-only analysis
- Personal folders still sitting on the system drive (redirect candidates)
- Browser download-path drift (Chrome/Edge saving somewhere other than your real Downloads)
- Partition layout, and whether the system partition can be extended
- Startup program count
- Physical disk health
- Real GPU VRAM (from the display-class registry, not the misreported WMI value) — which sets your local-AI model tier
It writes exactly two things, both local: an HTML report, and one line appended to a scan-history file on your machine. Nothing leaves the computer. The scanner is live now — download the zip using the button at the top of the page; it holds both files, ready to run. A one-click, code-signed build is still on the way.
Watch it, step by step
Coming soon.
Short walkthrough videos are on the way — what we’re doing, why, and how to do it yourself: running the scan, setting up your own local-AI rig, and getting more from the higher-tier tools as they land.
Then build the rest of the stack
The scan is phase 0. When you’re ready to set the machine up properly — local models, cloud agents, and Workspace Guard keeping them coordinated — the full build order is here.
