gender care
A Fraud Statute Became the Lever That Closed Pediatric Gender Care
UPMC and NYU Langone agreed to end pediatric gender-affirming care without admitting wrongdoing. The DOJ's tool is the False Claims Act, and the pattern is turning settlements into national policy.
shareholder rights
Deleting the Shareholder Proposal Rule Moves the Fight to Fifty States
The SEC proposes to rescind Rule 14a-8 on grounds it never had the authority. If it succeeds, the right to bring a proposal will depend on where a company is incorporated.
drug safety
When an FDA-Required Study Is Overdue, Delay Pays
A KFF Health News analysis found nearly 600 required postmarket studies behind schedule, covering almost 350 products still on the market. The system's incentives reward the company that never finishes.
GDPR enforcement
Google's €403 Million Fine Punishes Policies It Already Abandoned
Ireland's data regulator fined Google over location-data practices that ended in 2020. The penalty is less about current harm than about whether the company could prove what it did, and the enforcement clock is the story.
bank supervision
The Fed Is Asking Banks What Their Exposure Looked Like at 3 P.M.
The Jane Street loss inquiry is really about intraday risk: how fast a bank's exposure to a trading firm can move between two reporting windows, and whether end-of-day capital rules can see it.
radiopharma
Telix Is Buying the Factory the Whole Radiopharma Class Depends On
The $2.35 billion ITM merger is nominally about a neuroendocrine tumor drug. The binding asset is commercial-scale lutetium-177 production, and the deal reorders who controls the isotope supply chain.
NIH funding
A White House Board for NIH Grants Means Every Seat Has a Veto
The draft order would route the $48 billion research budget through unanimous political approval, and the NIH director who just refused to cut Harvard's funding would hold one of the seats.
trade truce
Eight Hours in New York Produced an AI Hotline, Not a Tariff Cut
The Bessent-He meeting left the trade truce on its November 10 clock. The genuinely new piece is a channel for telling each other when an AI system goes wrong.
drug pricing
The Medicaid Drug Pricing Model Went National With Its Details Still Private
All 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico are joining the most-favored-nation model, while the deals that set the prices have never been published.
B2B Research
Most Popular Research Articles
Intent Data
Intent Data Providers For B2B
Non-English intent signal is still under twenty percent of total volume industrywide, which means most platforms are seeing a fraction of the buying activity happening outside English language markets.
Knowledge Management
Knowledge Management Solutions
One vendor is explicitly competing on restraint, arguing that a plausible AI generated article that is subtly wrong is worse for a knowledge base than no article at all.
MDR
Managed Detection And Response Services
Forrester's own buyer guidance undercuts the AI pitch: providers are getting measurably more efficient, and there is little evidence yet that any of that efficiency is reaching customer pricing.
MDR Europe
Managed Detection And Response Services In Europe
Forrester's guidance to buyers is blunt: having a data centre in the EU answers one sovereignty question out of four, and most vendor pitches stop at the first.
Manufacturing Tech
Manufacturing Technology Services
Forrester frames 2026's binding constraint as a workforce that cannot be trained fast enough, which makes this a services category built around people more than platforms.
Market Intelligence
Market And Competitive Intelligence Platforms
Generative AI should have commoditized this category, and instead Forrester's criteria count kept climbing, because the moat was always licensed source access, not summarization.
Open Banking
Open Banking Intermediaries
Two of the category's most prominent independent players are now owned by the card networks they were supposed to route around.
Change Management
Organizational Change Management Services
Forrester's provider count nearly doubled in three years, and every other technology category in this series points at the same root cause: the software works and the organisation does not change.
PLM
Product Lifecycle Management Platforms For Discrete Manufacturers
Every reference customer for one vendor said they would buy again, which in PLM can mean genuine excellence or a customer base that has nowhere else to go once the evidence chain is built.
