Who writes this
Why "Standing Item"? On a board agenda, a standing item is the one that comes back every meeting. AI, regulation and risk are now that item. Same letter, same 7 a.m. slot, clearer name.
Maverick writes Standing Item for directors, executives and the people who brief them. Every claim links to where it came from: the regulator, the court filing, the company's own statement. No hot takes, no vendor pitches. Spot an error? Hit reply and the correction runs in the next issue.
