The IRB Monthly.

Two pages. First Monday of the month. The policy month, distilled.

Hong Kong publishes more than most candidates can read. The government posts daily on info.gov.hk. The Legislative Council fires Council Questions across the bureaux every week. The room you sit in will know which of those mattered. So will you.

What's inside

A briefing, not a digest. Short enough to read on the MTR.

Why it exists

Most candidates read too much. Few read the right things.

The room does not test how many press releases you saw. It tests whether you can name the policy, place it in the bureau, and hold a line on it for ninety seconds.

The IRB Monthly is what Mike reads on the first Monday of the month. We send you the same thing — shorter, cleaner, and tied to the panel room you are training for.
