The Weekly Advantage

One weekly decision-level insight to help regulated organizations make better AI decisions, without slowing execution

Get the weekly brief

Written for senior leaders in regulated environments.

Who this is for

  • Leaders who need AI progress that survives audit, legal review, and board scrutiny

  • Senior leaders in regulated or compliance-sensitive industries

  • 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, and 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

Most AI governance failures don’t happen because of bad models.
They happen because decision authority is unclear.

When no one owns the decision, risk gets distributed until no one is accountable.
Regulators don’t care how innovative the system was—they care who approved it and why.
