Membership

Decision infrastructure for leaders who cannot afford generic answers.

One membership for CEOs, directors, founders, and senior executives. Members receive every White Paper, the Playbook, and the Member Library. Daily Briefs and three sample White Papers stay free for everyone.

5-7 papersOne governed theme each week
Board-readyImplications, questions, and actions
Evidence-ledCitations, confidence, and corrections
Named accessOne accountable seat per license
The member promise

Not more content. Better decisions, sooner.

Public information is abundant. Executive attention is not. The membership is designed to reduce the time between a material development and a defensible leadership response.

Every member release is structured around the questions that matter at the top: What changed? Why does it matter now? Which assumptions are fragile? What does each executive function need to do next? What should the board ask management?

Every intelligence item carries

  • A decision-use statement
  • Source and citation trail
  • Known limitations and confidence
  • Role-specific implications
  • Version and correction history
  • Named editorial accountability

The Playbook

The operating model for AI governance decision rights, containment, and evidence. Included with every named seat.

01

Weekly Intelligence Set

Five to seven White Papers on one material theme each week, written for the Board, CEO, CFO, COO, CHRO, CRO, and CIO/CTO as the topic requires.

02

Board Reviews

Concise reviews of governance exposure, board questions, management evidence, and decisions that should be documented.

03

Quarterly Outlooks

Cross-theme synthesis that identifies emerging patterns, scenario changes, and issues that deserve agenda time in the next quarter.

04

Sector Intelligence

Focused analysis and material news for priority sectors, separated from low-value news volume and linked to executive consequences.

05

Research Archive

A searchable member library with stable document IDs, publication dates, sources, versions, and visible corrections.

06

Decision Tools

Where appropriate, releases include board questions, readiness diagnostics, decision matrices, and implementation artifacts.

Founding access

A deliberately limited first cohort.

The Founding Executive Member offer is available only until the thirtieth qualifying payment is confirmed. It does not expire on an artificial calendar deadline.

Founders receive one named member seat and a protected renewal price for five consecutive annual membership terms from their paid start date. The sixth renewal is handled through a documented commercial review.

Executive Leadership Playbooks, Complete Suites, Residency Labs, and advisory engagements are separate products and are not included unless a signed agreement expressly says otherwise.

Application Acknowledgment
I agree that Touch Stone Publishers may use this information to evaluate and respond to my membership application.

Submitting an application does not reserve a founding place. A place is reserved only when a buyer-specific invoice is issued and remains reserved for seven calendar days.

Questions executives ask

Clear commercial boundaries.

Is this a newsletter?

No. Daily Briefs and three sample White Papers are free. Members receive every White Paper, the Playbook, Board Reviews, Quarterly Outlooks, Sector Intelligence, and the Member Library.

Can a member share the library across the company?

No. Individual memberships are named-seat licenses. Institutional and Board offers include additional named seats, but do not grant enterprise-wide redistribution rights unless a signed agreement does so.

Are executive playbooks included?

Yes. The Playbook is included with every membership. Residency Labs and advisory engagements are separate services.

How is the founding price advanced?

The governing membership ledger counts only successfully paid founding memberships. Once the thirtieth qualifying payment is confirmed, the public new-member price advances to $12,000 and does not automatically fall back.

Does Touch Stone provide legal, investment, or regulatory advice?

No. The service provides executive research and decision support. Members should use qualified counsel and professional advisers for decisions requiring legal, regulatory, financial, or investment advice.

For leaders operating under consequence

Bring a current decision. Leave with a stronger question set.
