Strategic Inquiry

Bring Touch Stone In When AI Governance Has Become an Executive Decision.

Use this path for board briefings, executive playbooks, governance labs, institutional licensing, or a private conversation about whether Touch Stone is the right fit. The first note does not need to be perfect. It needs to be specific enough for a serious response.

Choose the Right Path

Route your inquiry to the right conversation.

Each inquiry type has a different first question. Use the path that matches what your organization actually needs right now — not the one that sounds most senior.

Path 01

Board or Chair Briefing

For a chair, board committee, CEO, or general counsel who needs a concise AI governance conversation before the next board meeting or material decision. The briefing is scoped, sourced, and delivered in a format the chair can brief from directly.

Path 02

Playbooks or License

For role playbooks, the Executive Playbook, coordinated bundles, or internal-use institutional licensing. Invoice issued on request — no form required before the conversation starts. Include the product or license type and the expected number of users.

Invoice inquiry →

Path 03

Executive Lab

For leadership teams that need a facilitated working session, scenario work, decision-rights mapping, or governance artifacts the organization can use immediately. Scope is confirmed before invoice. Include team size, the governance question, and timing.

Path 04

Executive Assistant Handoff

For inquiries routed through an EA or chief of staff. Include the sponsor’s name, role, and the governance question they need addressed. Touch Stone will respond to both the EA and the sponsor so nothing falls through the gap between inbox and calendar.

What to Include

The note that gets a serious response within 24 hours.

Name, organization, role, the type of engagement you are considering, and the governance context or timing pressure driving the inquiry. That is enough. The conversation will take it from there.

Glenn Daniels responds directly. There is no SDR, no qualification queue, and no intake form standing between your inquiry and a substantive reply.

Ready to govern AI — not just disclose it?
