Pi-powered multi-agent executive deliberation

Turn briefs into structured board debate.

Boardroom runs CEO and specialist board deliberations from structured briefs, then produces ranked recommendations, tradeoffs, and final decision memos.

Workflow

How it works

01

Brief

Write the brief

Author a structured brief with situation, stakes, constraints, and a key question. The brief frames the decision for the board.

→ briefs/{id}/brief.md

02

Deliberation

Run the board

Six specialist agents deliberate in parallel rounds. Each brings a distinct optimization lens - revenue, product, architecture, dissent, compounding, and upside.

→ deliberations/{id}/conversation.jsonl

03

Dissent

Capture disagreement

The Contrarian stress-tests consensus. Follow-up rounds probe weak points. Votes are captured with rationale, not just tallied.

→ deliberations/{id}/board/*.md

04

Memo

Get the memo

The CEO synthesizes all positions into a final decision memo with ranked recommendations, conditions, risks, and next moves.

→ memos/{id}/memo.md

The Board

Six specialist perspectives

Each board member optimizes for a different dimension. The CEO synthesizes their positions into a final decision.

Revenue

ARR, margin, cash conversion, pricing power

Challenge anything that improves narrative but weakens economics.

Product Strategist

Product moat, roadmap leverage, user value, market fit

Push on clarity of pain, adoption friction, portfolio logic.

Technical Architect

System quality, maintainability, tech debt, team leverage

Demand explicit tradeoffs, failure modes, boring durable designs.

Contrarian

Assumptions, weak evidence, timing risk, narrative traps

Look for avoided arguments and disconfirming evidence.

Compounder

Long-term value, future optionality, learning, resilience

Ask if the decision makes the next decision easier or harder.

Moonshot

Upside asymmetry, bold underexplored moves

Call out underreaching or conservative bias.

Outputs

Real artifacts, not promises

Every deliberation produces deterministic, versioned artifacts you can review, diff, and audit.
