1.1 The Four Moving Parts
Component What it does Compatibility surface
1. Redwood UI
(Redwood Experience) 		A full re-skin and re-layout of the NetSuite application on Oracle's Redwood Design System. Highest
2. Ask Oracle A conversational AI assistant embedded across the suite. Answers respect the signed-in role's existing permissions. Medium
3. AI Canvas An interactive scenario-planning / analysis workspace over live NetSuite data. Low-Medium
4. Agentic workflows
/ AI Connector Service 		AI-driven agents and tool-calling that can act on NetSuite records, plus the connector service that exposes NetSuite capability to AI clients. Governance

The Risk Model
Everything That Can Go Wrong Falls Into One of Eight Domains
Domain What it means Risk level
D1 — Presentation-layer coupling in code Redwood ships a different DOM hierarchy and different CSS class names. Red
D2 — Custom UI surfaces you own These continue to run, they are server-generated, but they render inside new page chrome. Amber
D3 — Styling, branding and CSS collisions This is the bi-directional domain. Red
D4 — Navigation, entry points and deep links Redwood restructures navigation around persistent global search, a Create (+) menu, and consolidated menus. Amber
D5 — Saved searches, lists, reports and dashboards HTML injected through formula columns is a form of DOM injection. Amber
D6 — Third-party SuiteApps, bundles and vendor code You cannot remediate a locked managed bundle yourself.
Unknown until vendor confirms
D7 — Data, metadata and semantic quality This domain does not break anything; it silently degrades Ask Oracle and AI Canvas. Amber
D8 — Governance, security and process controls Ask Oracle inherits the signed-in role's permissions; it does not add a new permission layer. Red

Answer these twelve questions from memory, before you look anything up. If you find yourself saying "I'd have to check," score that as YES, because an unknown is an unmanaged risk, and in this exercise unknowns behave exactly like known problems.
  • Has anyone, internal or a third party, written custom JavaScript that runs on your NetSuite record screens? YES / NO
  • Do you have custom buttons on any transaction or entity form? YES / NO
  • Do you have custom screens, wizards or reports built as Suitelets? YES / NO
  • Does any custom page or dashboard portlet render your own HTML or your own CSS? YES / NO
  • Has anyone applied custom styling, branding colours or a custom stylesheet to the NetSuite interface? YES / NO
  • Do any of your saved searches use a formula column that outputs HTML, a link, an icon, a coloured status badge, a progress bar? YES / NO
PAGE 06 / 50
  • Do you have any SuiteApps or bundles from third-party vendors that put screens, buttons or portlets into NetSuite? YES / NO
  • Is anything automating NetSuite by driving the browser, an RPA bot, a macro recorder, a UI test suite, a browser extension the team relies on? YES / NO
  • Are there customizations in your account where you cannot name the person or vendor who owns them today? YES / NO
  • Is any of your custom code still on SuiteScript 1.0? YES / NO
  • If you enabled a conversational assistant tomorrow, would you be comfortable with every user retrieving everything their role is technically permitted to read, bank details, salaries, costs, margins, in a single plain-English sentence? NO / YES
  • Do you have documented, current definitions for your top business metrics, and clean master data without meaningful duplicates? NO / YES

Scoring: one point for every YES on questions 1 to 10, and one point for every NO on questions 11 and 12. Remember to score "I'd have to check" as a point.

Scoring
What Your Score Means
ScoreWhat it meansWhat to do
0–2 Genuinely low exposure. Your account is close to vanilla, or your team has been disciplined about staying inside supported APIs. Run the Part 6 user checklist, spot-check with Part 13, and enable early. You are in a strong position, being early is an advantage worth taking.
3–5 Typical mid-market exposure. There will be real findings, and most of them will be fixable inside a normal sprint cycle. Run the full inventory in Part 5 and the developer checklist in Part 7. Budget remediation now, before the activation date sets the deadline for you.
6–8 Significant exposure. There is almost certainly presentation-layer coupling in your account that nobody has looked at in years. Treat this as a project with an owner and a budget, not a task. Start with Part 5, then Appendix A. Do not commit to an activation date until the inventory is complete.
9–12 High exposure with an unknown floor. The honest position is that you do not currently know what will break, and the items you cannot answer are the ones most likely to hurt. Stop planning the activation date and start the assessment this week. Prioritise questions 8 and 9, undocumented automation and unowned code are the two findings with the longest lead time to fix.

Appendix A — Inventory Checklist
A1. Before You Start

Before you run the inventory in Part 5, confirm these four things so the rest of the checklist produces numbers you can actually act on.

  • Confirm your current NetSuite account ID, edition and release version. DONE
  • List every custom record type, script deployment and workflow currently active. DONE
  • Name the person or vendor of record for each customization on that list. DONE
  • Pull your role list and flag any role with broader-than-needed permissions. DONE
