Reading list

What the desk is reading this quarter

The reading list the principals work from. Eighty papers, books and reports, sector-tagged.

How the bench reads

You will see the BIS, FSB, NIST, BoE, ECB and FCA papers we use as primary references, with the section numbers that matter to a deploying firm.

Where a popular AI book is on the list as a counter-example, we say so. Not every book the executive press recommends survives a senior consultant's reading.

The list is updated quarterly. Subscribers receive the additions and the removals.
