Both ACON white papers have been re-issued as illustrated editions, carrying the complete diagram set for the first time — the cost iceberg, the six failures, the first 30 days, the two-stage gate model and the full cost comparison.

The flagship paper, Running the bank's side of a Section 166, follows the arc every review follows in three parts: why response programmes fail so predictably, what a well-run firm-side programme actually does, and the ACON delivery system built on those principles. Eleven pages, written for the people who carry the S166 on the bank's side — COOs, remediation and programme directors, heads of compliance and the delivery leads they bring in.

The companion paper, Delivering remediation after the review, covers the programme that decides whether the Section 166 ever really ends: the seven missteps that stall remediation, the closure pack, and verification treated as measurement rather than negotiation. Nine pages.

Library members read both first — the papers arrive by email the moment you register, and every future paper, worked example and briefing follows the day it is published.
