Topic: Why do "100-year" crises happen every 10 years?

In spring 2026, I had the opportunity to deliver an original lecture titled "Why do '100-year' crises happen every 10 years?" at several universities. During the lecture, I guide the audience through the history of financial risk modeling methods, compare these methods with those used in hydrology, and point out the paradigmatic problems underlying their assumptions. I delivered the lecture at:

4th Annual Banking Operational Risk Summit

Topic: Built-in mechanisms of the AMA framework that led to its cancellation

I would like to present arguments that point to the "built-in" defects in the AMA concept defined by the supervisor, which led to such loss of credibility of the method. Thus, the imperfection of the framework, and above all, its unjustified overcomplexity, materialized in the form of such a dispersion of results that exceeded the supervisory boundary of acceptability.
