The Weekly Advantage

For senior leaders in regulated environments.

Who this is for

• Leaders who need AI leverage that can survive audit, legal review, and board scrutiny

• Chief Risk or Compliance Officers balancing innovation and regulatory exposure

• Executives responsible for decisions influenced by AI (risk, operations, product, compliance)

If you’re looking for general AI news, tutorials, or trend commentary, this will not be useful.

What you’ll receive

• One insight about an AI governance or risk decision that matters

• The practical implication for regulated organizations - what changes, what doesn’t

• A clear lens for deciding what to address now, defer, or ignore

• A clear do / don’t recommendation for the week

No theory. No trends. No recycled frameworks.

Why this exists

Most AI governance advice is written either for global enterprises or for technologists.

Mid-market regulated organizations sit in between - with real exposure, limited tolerance for mistakes, but pressure to move quickly.

The Weekly Advantage exists to provide judgment, not education, focused on decisions that create leverage without introducing unnecessary risk.

A Recent Insight

“The EU AI Act creates a US compliance advantage you’re probably missing. Most US firms are ignoring the EU AI Act since they don’t operate in Europe.

The opportunity: European firms are now required to document AI risk assessments, testing procedures, and human oversight mechanisms. When they partner with US firms, they’ll demand the same standards - giving early adopters a competitive edge in enterprise deals.

The action: Build your AI governance documentation now to win regulated enterprise customers in 2025.”
