Reports
Findings and the analyses they headline, built on the panel study. Each finding shows its number honestly (live, provisional, or pending) and links to where the analysis lives.
Boards enact oversight more than they announce it — substance leads signal.
sit at the lowest governance maturity, exposed the moment the rules relax.
Firm size and resources explain almost none of it. Governance maturity is not a function of how big you are.
Most "AI-governance" roles are mislabeled build roles. Only ~15% actually govern.
Some govern quietly; others announce it loudly. The two rarely coincide.
On the board channel, substance comes before the announcement, not after.
Strip out what regulators require, and ask how much bank AI governance is left.
Which industries talk most and do least about AI governance?
Does ISO 42001 / NIST adherence track real governance, or just certification?
Do firms that govern loudly in press actually govern in structure?
AI governance shows up through different channels in different sectors.
How many boards claim AI oversight but seat no director with AI expertise?
Does data-governance density predict who later builds AI oversight?
Did the EU AI Act move governance in exposed firms vs. peers?
Is AI governance converging toward a norm, or splitting into haves and have-nots?
The analyses that findings roll up into. A report links out once it ships a route.
On the board (DEF 14A) channel, more firms carry an operative oversight mechanism than an aspirational one — substance leads signal, and the premium holds across cohorts. Reads live from current B emissions.
Board channel only, which over-represents substance because a proxy-statement charter is operative by construction.
How firms hire to govern AI across the covered panel: the govern-vs-build split, the roles that dominate, and how the mix moves forward. Banking cut populated; more industries as coverage lands.
Overall view is bank-weighted at current coverage. Baseline hand-coded pending the ARISA crosswalk.
Over a historical vendor job-posting corpus: as the EU AI Act phases in, does governance-adjacent AI hiring diverge between EU- and US-located requisitions? Pooled by job location against the regulatory calendar. Reads live from the deterministic tag surface.
Descriptive, scoring-invisible vendor corpus; read shape not level (capped exports, left-censoring). Governance-adjacent by half-year is a deliberate, labeled exploratory relaxation — the frozen DiD outcome (factor_target) stays withheld pending the ai-act-hiring-did pre-registration.

Quarter-over-quarter shifts in the governance index across cohorts, with the evidence behind each move.
- Model-Risk Apparatus vs. Hiring SignalPlannedIndex
Whether banks that build a deeper model-risk apparatus also hire more governance roles, and whether either tracks the index.
