This month was about why going through the front door beats going around it. Glen Hodgson broke down where EU policy is actually heading, including the December 2, 2026 Platform Work Directive deadline and which regions are ready. Jeff Nugent made the case that compliance is a go-to-market advantage rather than a cost center, and that partnership beats trying to build or acquire the coverage yourself.
