This morning's brief
Signal
The EU passed the AI Liability Directive.
Why it matters — The board

The move
Name an owner for AI risk before Q3 — and minute it.
72%
of enterprises can't name a single accountable owner for their deployed AI. That gap is the whole story.

Before the meeting

Judgement, not volume.

You read it in the five minutes before the meeting. Everyone else optimises for clicks or engineers; we optimise for the one reader they ignore — the executive who has to decide today.

The standard & the bespoke

One is the standard. Two are yours.

The Daily Brief is the industry-wide standard — free, every weekday, read through your sector lens. The Sunday Edition and the monthly Board Meeting are Insider: long-form and written bespoke to your business. No filler, no fatigue, and the rare breaking note when something genuinely shifts.

The Daily Brief

The industry-wide standard. The overnight distilled to one signal, what it means and your next move — before the day makes its first demand. Every weekday, free.

Weekly · Sunday
Insider
The Sunday Edition

Long-form weekend analysis, bespoke to your business. One theme taken deep — the strategic read for the quiet hour before the week begins.

Monthly
Insider
The Board Meeting

Your month of AI, condensed to the operating picture your board needs: what moved for you, what it means, and what to decide.

+ Breaking — the rare send reserved for a genuinely major event.
The proof

It's already in the room.

By the time the room fills, the signal is already a line in the pack. A decision gets made, a question gets asked, an owner is named — and within the week you watch it show up in the business.

Golden hour

Free to read. But not open.

As the day cools, the machine turns to tomorrow — reading, weighing, curating the next dawn. You're kept on a numbered ledger of founders and directors; a capped monthly intake keeps the room worth being in.

A living register — anonymised. Names are never shown.

A brief that knows your business.

The free editions read for your seat. Insider reads for you — a private model, trained on your company, your sector and your portfolio, that watches the news and how your industry is reacting to it. Not a lens on the feed. The inside line on your business.

$8.99 / month See inside Insider →
Trained on your business
Your company, sector, portfolio and the questions your board keeps asking. It learns you — and keeps learning.
What your industry is saying
Not just the news — how your sector is reacting. Analyst notes, earnings-call language, exec commentary and competitor moves, so you see where consensus is forming.
Curated queries
Ask it anything. Answers grounded in your business and cited — never the generic feed.
Actions, not just reading
It drafts the board note, frames the question, names the next step.
Private by default
Your context trains your model — and never leaves it.

Decide with the full picture.

The sun sets on today's signal. Tomorrow at 05:59 it begins again — and you'll already know the one thing that matters.
