## Theses

- [Investing in the Harness: my thesis on applied AI, governance and sovereignty](https://polarisglobal.io/theses/investing-in-the-harness/): the investment thesis (October 2026). The model is not the asset; own the harness, not the weights; sell to an obligation, not a preference; neutrality is the product; proof is the product; Europe is the long dated opportunity.
- [Agents of Sovereignty: earning and owning value in an economy reshaped by AI, 2026 to 2031](https://polarisglobal.io/theses/agents-of-sovereignty/): the essay behind the public and private work (updated 23 October 2026). Sovereignty means what you can authorise, refuse, inspect and take with you.
