A boardroom about your boardroom. Five synths read the CEO's deck, surface the question you should ask, and pressure-test the recommendation before you vote.
Upload (or paste) the deck; the Boardroom surfaces what's missing, what's optimistic, and what to ask in the meeting.
When the CEO recommends a path, the Boardroom argues the strongest alternative — the question a great independent director would raise.
Exec comp, succession, audit findings, whistleblower handling — debated with The Lawyer, The Ethicist, and The Investor.
Independent directors are valued for unbiased perspective. The Boardroom adds five more — between meetings, on demand.
Real questions. Multiple expert perspectives. Every time.
“CEO is asking the board to approve a big acquisition. Strongest reasons we should vote no?”
“New CFO finalist has impressive resume but board chair has reservations. How do I think about this independently?”
“CEO comp is up for renewal. What's the right benchmark when company is between stages?”
“Whistleblower flagged a culture concern. Investigate independently, defer to management, or external review?”
“Two board members are publicly pushing for the CEO to be replaced. Stay neutral, take a side, or push for a process?”
Each expert thinks independently — they won’t just agree with each other.
The Investor
Thinks like a board, an LP, and a downstream acquirer at once.
The Skeptic
Questions every premise. Finds blind spots others miss.
The Ethicist
Surfaces second-order consequences and integrity-cost trade-offs.
The Lawyer
Flags legal exposure and contract risk before they become incidents.
The Strategist
Maps competitive dynamics and strategic options across multi-year horizons.
A synthesized recommendation from your team of experts — not just opinions, but structured analysis.
Strong Agreement
Key Recommendations
Synthesized Recommendation
Vote yes on the acquisition with two conditions: a 90-day integration milestone with a kill-switch, and CEO comp tied to retained-talent metrics for 18 months. Approving with conditions preserves CEO authority while protecting against the typical acquihire failure modes.

Expert Opinions
“Great board members don't arrive with answers; they arrive with the question that reframes the meeting. The boardroom is where I find that question — between Sunday evening and Monday morning.”
Independent directors add value through outside perspective. The Boardroom adds five more independent perspectives — none of whom have a relationship to protect.
Most directors read the deck the night before. The Boardroom synthesizes it in 4 minutes, surfacing the question to ask before you walk in.
Some board concerns can't be raised with management present. The Boardroom is a place to develop them rigorously before the formal meeting.
Tracks prior decisions, stated principles, and the arc of the company's direction. Useful for new directors joining mid-cycle.
The questions people ask before they sign up.
For analysis and pre-meeting prep, yes. For formal board decisions, the Boardroom is an input — the actual vote and the documented board minutes are your responsibility. Most directors use SynthBoard to walk in with sharper questions, not to make the vote for them.
Sessions are private to your account. For board-confidential materials, you control what context to share. Many directors paste anonymized framing rather than full decks. Validate against your D&O insurance and company AI policy first.
Yes, with care. Team plans support shared workspaces, but board-decision-making typically benefits from independent analysis followed by joint debate. Most directors run sessions independently, then bring synthesized positions to the meeting.
Neither by default. The Skeptic and Ethicist argue against poorly-framed management recommendations; The Strategist often defends them. The synthesis surfaces the structural question, not a posture.
For directional framing, well. For specific market data (current peer comp at your stage and sector), pair with a comp-survey provider. The Boardroom is the structural-reasoning layer; comp surveys are the data inputs.
Yes — many new directors use SynthBoard to ramp on the company narrative quickly. Paste the prior 6 months of board materials; the Boardroom synthesizes the strategic arc and surfaces the key open questions.
