Five advisors. One verdict. GO · NO-GO · CONDITIONAL GO.
The Council stress-tests high-stakes business decisions through five independent adversarial lenses, a structured stress-test layer, and a Chairman that delivers a declared verdict with a prioritised action plan and kill risks — in under 12 minutes. Not a discussion. Not a summary. A decision.

Chairman verdict
Phase I — The Five Advisors
Five mandates. No knowledge of each other's answers.
Each advisor receives the same question and the same document briefing. They deliberate sequentially with no access to each other's output. After all five respond, a Stance Heatmap shows every position and vote in one view — readable in under ten seconds.
The Contrarian
Finds every reason this could fail. Exposes assumptions, risks, and ways this goes badly wrong. Does not soften.
Typical vote: STOP / PAUSE
The First Principles Thinker
Strips all received wisdom. Rebuilds from the ground up. Asks whether this is even the right question.
Typical vote: RECONSIDER
The Expansionist
Finds the upside being missed. Identifies adjacent opportunities and undervalued potential.
Typical vote: PROCEED / ACCELERATE
The Outsider
Zero prior context. Reads everything as a smart stranger encountering it for the first time. Catches the curse of knowledge.
Typical vote: Neutral
The Executor
One question only: what do you actually do next? Exposes the gap between compelling idea and workable execution plan.
Typical vote: PROCEED / PAUSE
After all five respond
A Stance Heatmap renders — showing every advisor's position, vote, and six-word signal phrase in a single visual. The pattern of agreement and disagreement is the first signal the Chairman uses.
Phase II — Stress-Test
Five reviewers interrogate the advisors. Not the question. The quality of the deliberation.
All five advisor responses are anonymised and shuffled before the stress-test. No reviewer knows which advisor said what.
| Reviewer | Mandate | Verdict scale |
|---|---|---|
| 🔎 Fact-Checker | Interrogates reasoning quality. Where was logic lazy? | SOLID / SHAKY / FLAWED |
| ◈ Integrator | Reads all five responses as a whole. What pattern emerges? | CONVERGENT / SPLIT / DIVERGENT |
| ☍ Devil's Advocate | Identifies the argument no advisor made — the collective blind spot. | MINOR GAP / SIGNIFICANT GAP / CRITICAL OMISSION |
| ⚠ Risk Ranker | Ranks every risk by likelihood × impact. Names the fatal one. | LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH / CRITICAL |
| ◎ Opportunity Scout | Finds the upside the council collectively underweighted. | MINOR / NOTABLE / SIGNIFICANT |
Phase III — The Chairman
A declared verdict. Not a conversation.
The three possible verdicts:
GO
The Chairman has assessed all five deliberations and all five stress-test results. The evidence supports proceeding. Action plan follows.
Action Plan
5–7 prioritised steps. What to do, why it matters to this specific decision, and a timeframe for each.
Kill Risks
The top 3 threats that could make this decision wrong, each with an early warning signal to watch for.
Conditions to Proceed
If CONDITIONAL GO — specific, verifiable requirements. Not vague guidance. A numbered checklist.
Review Trigger
The specific event or milestone that means the council should reconvene and reassess.
Document Intelligence
Upload any relevant documents.
Business plans, financial models, pitch decks, contracts, technical architectures. A dedicated intelligence layer reads all documents and produces a structured briefing across twelve mandatory sections before any advisor deliberates. Every advisor receives expert-quality context regardless of document volume.
