What problem does it solve? Founders and operators facing high-stakes decisions — raise or bootstrap, pricing changes, first hires, killing a project — often lack access to experienced advisors and end up reasoning in an echo chamber of one. This Skill convenes a simulated council of eight well-documented founders and operators (Jason Fried, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Jensen Huang, Bob Iger, Paul Graham, Naval Ravikant, Sara Blakely) who apply their published frameworks to your specific situation, deliberately disagree with each other, and surface the real trade-offs before you commit. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona-grounded advisory takes: Each seated member applies their documented frameworks (Bezos's one-way/two-way doors, Graham's default-alive test, Musk's five-step algorithm) to your case, grounded in dossiers of their actual published positions — no fabricated quotes or invented endorsements. - Structured disagreement mapping: Sessions seat 3–5 members chosen so their lenses collide, always including a designated dissenter, then map 2–4 genuine conflicts into named trade-offs with the evidence that would settle each. - Optional live research pass: Integrates with deep-research, watch-video, and last30days skills to ground takes in what members have actually said, with citations, and archives every session to a local config directory. - Use Case: You're deciding whether to raise a seed round or stay bootstrapped. The council seats Fried and Blakely (bootstrap advocates), Bezos as dissenter (invest ahead of proof), maps the sustainability-vs-speed trade-off, and delivers a chair's synthesis with concrete next steps and a tripwire to monitor. ## Quick Start Ask the council whether you should raise prices on your SaaS product, providing your current revenue, headcount, and runway as context.
