**2013**

- [2273857-004](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2273857-004) [empirical/evidenced] -- Financial regulation is characteristically enacted only in the aftermath of financial crises rather than in advance of them.
  > Financial regulation is usually enacted in the aftermath of financial crises.

- [2273857-011](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2273857-011) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Rules established in reaction to financial crises inevitably fail to soften, curtail, or preempt the effects of financial crises, because reactive rules are tailored to the economic and regulatory issues existing at the time of enactment and ignore possible future contingencies.
  > Rules established in reaction to financial crises also inevitably fail to soften, curtail, or preempt the effects of financial crises because reactive rules are mostly tailored to the economic and regulatory issues at the time of their enactment and often ignore possible future contingencies.

- [2273857-027](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2273857-027) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Regulatory cycles make it nearly impossible to address financial regulatory concerns adequately, and systemic risk in particular is difficult to address if rules are enacted in a cyclical and reactive format.
  > Regulatory cycles also make it nearly impossible to adequately address financial regulatory concerns. Systemic risk is particularly difficult to address if rules are enacted in a cyclical and reactive format.

- [2273857-053](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2273857-053) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The core problem for financial regulation is timing: governance improvements are not enacted before crises when they are most needed, because the collective action problem makes financial regulation mostly reactive and tied to business cycles.
  > A core problem for financial regulation is its timing. Governance improvements are not enacted when they are most needed - before crises. Rather, because of the collective action problem, financial regulation is mostly reactive, following business cycles.

**2017**

- [2834531-013](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2834531-013) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The relevant facts on which regulation rests are never going to be obvious or settled, so the regulation of any disruptive new technology will always be reactive and built on an uncertain and politicized factual basis.
  > In this respect, the "relevant facts" that form the basis of regulation are never going to be obvious or settled. The regulation of any disruptive new technology is always going to be reactive and based on an uncertain and politicized factual basis.

**2024**

- [4941807-037](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4941807-037) [design/argued] -- Because the WDAG continuously monitors and adjusts to evolving ethical and legal standards, it delivers preventive AI governance, in contrast to reactive models that address problems only after they have already arisen.
  > By continuously monitoring and adjusting to evolving ethical and legal standards, WDAG provides a preventive approach to AI governance. This contrasts with reactive models that address issues only after they have arisen.
