‘The Broken Ladder’ – Green Paper request

Thank you for your interest in our January 2026 green paper “The Broken Ladder“.

This paper reveals the UK professional services sector is sleepwalking into a competence crisis. With Big Four graduate intakes down by nearly a third and AI automating the crucial “training wheels” tasks of the apprenticeship model, we are severing the developmental pathway that creates expert partners.

This paper moves beyond the hype to present cold, hard data on the Junior Cull, the widening Verification Gap in audit and law, and the $67.4 billion global cost of AI hallucinations.

Download the full analysis to discover why 2026 must be the year of Human Preservation – and unlock practical strategies, from Synthetic Training Environments to the Apprenticeship of Oversight, to bridge the gap before it’s too late.
