The Director's Position
When things go wrong inside a company, the investigation does not stay inside the company. Whether you hold a non-executive or executive role, the scrutiny is personal. The consequences are personal. And every governance platform on the market was built for the institution — not for you.
I
Director duties of care, skill and diligence are personal and non-delegable — for NEDs and executive directors alike. No board resolution, no company policy, and no institutional platform removes what the law places on you individually.
II
Regulatory investigation, civil proceedings, and D&O insurance scrutiny are directed at individuals. Whether you are a NED, an executive director, or a senior officer, when you leave a board your personal exposure does not leave with you. The company's records do.
III
What the company owns cannot protect you. A governance record held in a system controlled by the organisation you once served is not your protection. It is theirs.
Jurisdiction Coverage
Archimedes Lever operates across four jurisdictions, each with distinct personal liability frameworks for NEDs, executive directors and senior officers. The same individual exposure — in every market, at every level.
United Kingdom
Companies Act 2006
Directors' duties of care, skill and diligence are codified as personal obligations. The standard is applied to the individual director's specific knowledge, experience, and role.
United States
Delaware / Caremark Standard
Directors face individual oversight liability under Caremark. Good faith oversight requires more than institutional compliance — it requires personal, demonstrable engagement.
United Arab Emirates
ADGM & DIFC Frameworks
Director obligations under ADGM and DIFC regulation impose personal accountability standards on senior officers operating within the financial free zones.
Australia
Corporations Act 2001
ASIC v Healey confirmed that directors cannot rely on management to discharge their personal oversight obligations. Active, informed engagement is the required standard.
Founding Membership
Archimedes Lever is opening to a founding cohort of twenty members — NEDs, executive directors, and C-suite officers with personal governance exposure. Founding membership is by application only. Applications are only accepted following a private demo. Once the cohort is complete, it will not be reopened on the same terms.
Applications open following a private demo. There is no other route.
Questions directors ask
Directors of companies deploying high-risk AI systems under Annex III — in financial services, recruitment, critical infrastructure, healthcare and education — face regulatory scrutiny of their personal oversight, alongside the individual duty of reasonable care, skill and diligence they already owe. The exposure attaches to the named individual, not just the company. Take the free three-minute assessment to map your specific position.
Yes. Section 174 imposes a personal, non-delegable duty of reasonable care, skill and diligence on every UK director. No board decision, management assurance or collective governance process discharges it on your behalf. When AI systems fall within your oversight, the question a court or regulator asks is what you personally did to satisfy yourself.
Your access to board portals, minutes and company email is revoked the moment you leave — but your personal liability does not resign with you. Archimedes Lever creates an independently authored, timestamped record of your own conduct as a director, held outside company systems, so the evidence of your oversight survives your departure.
Yes. AIG, WR Berkley and Chubb have filed Absolute AI Exclusions on Side A D&O policies — the personal layer that protects individual directors rather than the company. Many directors do not yet know their policy no longer covers AI-related claims, which makes a personal evidence record more important, not less.
The founding cohort is limited to twenty directors, by application only, following a private demo. It is designed for NEDs, executive directors and C-suite officers with individual liability exposure across the UK, US, UAE and Australia. Request a confidential thirty-minute demo to begin.
