Each publication below was produced before the institutional framework for its domain existed. The AI Book in 2020, three years before the EU AI Act. The GBBC chapter in 2025, as the first global AI regulatory standard was being written. The HAIS methodology note in 2026, as the analytical architecture it describes was already applied across years of active engagements.

Publications are released in alignment with HRB's content strategy. Forthcoming entries represent work in preparation. The analytical work they draw on has been applied in engagements before publication.
The first public description of the HRB Analytical Intelligence System.

Read Publication +Why institutional AI governance consistently fails, and what the diagnostic record reveals. Argues that every major framework governs the technology rather than the decision, applying product safety logic to a problem that requires institutional accountability logic. Cross-jurisdictional analysis across nine nations. Issue 1 of the HRB Analytical Papers series.
The most consequential decisions are made upstream of execution. An analytical argument for why most advisory and governance frameworks engage too late in the decision cycle, and what structural intelligence operating at the upstream layer makes possible.
ForthcomingA structural argument about the governance, legal, and capital architecture that tokenisation requires before it can reach production grade. Distinguishes between what tokenisation pilots demonstrate and what production-grade tokenised infrastructure demands of the institutions that deploy it.
ForthcomingA direct note on the most consequential misreading of AI in institutional contexts: the assumption that AI is a productivity tool rather than a governance object. Written from eight years of applied AI advisory practice.
ForthcomingThe governance architecture of a FinTech venture in its first twelve months sets the ceiling of what is achievable in years three through five. A note on the structural layer that most venture advisors engage with too late or not at all.
ForthcomingPublished by Wiley in 2020, three years before the EU AI Act and two years before the mainstream commercialisation of generative AI. HRB GROUP®'s contribution covers AI governance and the analytical architecture required for institutions deploying AI in consequential contexts. One of the first institutional-grade treatments of AI governance at the commercial publication level.
