SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Council solves the risk of relying on a single perspective by convening nine expert viewpoints to deliberate high-stakes decisions across architecture, feature design, manufacturing operations, and technical trade-offs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Nine-Perspective Council: A fixed team of roles including Architect, Designer, Engineer, Researcher, Quality Engineer, Operations Manager, Supply Chain Lead, Finance Controller, and Director of Ops to provide comprehensive analysis.
  • Structured Deliberation: Round-based perspective gathering, cross-analysis, synthesis, and a formal, documented recommendation with dissent notes.
  • Versatile Scenarios: Ideal for architectural decisions, product design trade-offs, risk assessment, and governance of major programs.

Quick Start

Frame a decision with a topic, context, and constraints, trigger the council to gather perspectives, synthesize outputs, and store the decision in MEMORY/Decisions.

FAQPage Schema
What is multi-agent deliberation for architectural decisions?

Multi-agent deliberation for architectural decisions convenes multiple expert viewpoints, such as engineering and finance, to analyze system design trade-offs. It structures perspective gathering into rounds of cross-analysis and synthesis to produce a documented recommendation with dissent notes.

How do I structure a design review to evaluate technical trade-offs?

To structure a design review, frame your topic, context, and constraints, then trigger a round-based perspective gathering process. Synthesize the cross-analysis outputs from diverse roles to form a formal recommendation, storing the final decision in memory.

Can I use multi-perspective analysis for product design and supply chain risks?

Yes, multi-perspective analysis applies to product design and supply chain risks by gathering input from fixed roles like Supply Chain Lead and Operations Manager. This ensures comprehensive risk assessment across manufacturing operations and technical trade-offs.

What is the best way to document dissent notes during stakeholder deliberation?

The best way to document dissent notes during stakeholder deliberation is through a structured synthesis phase that captures cross-analysis from nine expert viewpoints. This formal documentation accompanies the final recommendation to ensure all perspectives are recorded.

Does multi-agent decision-making work without external dependencies?

Yes, multi-agent decision-making works without external dependencies by using a structured internal workflow. It applies a seven-phase algorithm to enforce topic, context, and constraint gathering, followed by synthesis and decision storage in memory.
