SynthBoard

Compare

One chat agrees with you.
A board argues it out.

ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are excellent at most things. On a hard call each gives you one voice, shaped by how you asked. SynthBoard puts the call to named experts on different models, assigned to disagree, and keeps the dissent on the page.

Same question, two answers

Should I raise my Pro plan from $29 to $39 this month, or wait until January? I have 180 paying users and churn is 3% a month. Just tell me which.

One chat

Raising to $39 can make sense if customers see the value. Consider grandfathering current users, announcing it clearly and watching churn closely. In the end the timing depends on your goals and your market.

The board

The board’s call

Raise to $39 now; current users from November 1.

What would flip it

Churn above 6% a month for the first cohort after the change.

The Skeptic disagreed

You’ve never tested price on these 180 people. I’d wait for January.

The board’s call

Raise to $39 now: for new sign-ups today, for your 180 current users from November 1, with 30 days’ notice.

The math the board ran on your numbers: even if churn doubles to 6% for three months, you’d have about 150 users paying $5,850 a month, against about 164 paying $4,760 at $29.

Confidence62 · Moderate

The Skeptic disagreed

“You’ve never tested price on these 180 people. A third more lands harder than a spreadsheet says. I’d still wait for January.”

Hire a head of sales now?

Work · Board of 3

We’re at $40k MRR and I still do all the selling: about 3 new deals a month, around $1,200 MRR each. Do I hire a head of sales now, or after our seed round closes in Q1?

Chief of staff

Your board is seated: The Sales Leader, The CFO, The Skeptic. They read the brief first, then research, then argue it out.

  • The CFOFinancial Controller
  • The SkepticRisk Assessor

The board’s call

Not a head of sales yet. Hire one senior account executive now, and the head of sales after the round closes.

At 3 deals a month there is no repeatable process yet for a head of sales to run. An AE who closes 2 deals a month adds about $2,400 of MRR every month and gives you your weeks back for the raise.

Confidence66 · Moderate

The CFO disagreed

“That salary starts before the round closes. If the round slips a quarter, you carry it on $40k MRR. Hire the AE the week the term sheet is signed.”

Can I not just ask ChatGPT to play several experts?

You can, but it is one model, in one context, arguing with itself, and it tends to settle where your framing pointed. On SynthBoard each expert researches alone on its own seat, the seats are spread across model families, and on a decision two of them are assigned opposite sides. The disagreement stays in the memo instead of being smoothed into one answer.

Does SynthBoard use GPT, Claude and Gemini?

Yes. The experts sit on models from several families — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and more — and a board spreads its seats across them. Which models a seat can use depends on your plan.

How do I know the disagreement is real?

Every board is built to include someone whose job is to argue against the obvious answer. On a decision, at least two experts are assigned opposed positions. Seats are spread across model families, so the room is not one lab’s habits. Each expert researches alone, then reacts once to the others. When one changes position, the memo says so. Confidence drops with dissent. A board’s call is never rated above 90. The disagreement stays on the memo — who dissented, why, and what would change the call.

Is every question a board?

No. Your Chief of Staff answers the everyday herself. A question that needs one expert becomes a consult; only the biggest calls go to a board. Talking to your Chief of Staff is free within a daily allowance. A consult or a board shows its price on the card before anything runs, and nothing runs until you tap.

Does it remember across conversations?

Yes. What you tell her stays on file, marked when it has aged, and yours to correct or wipe. When a new ask would reverse a call you made, she names it first.

When should I still use ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini?

For drafting, coding and research on your own, for open-ended conversation, and for any question where one good answer is enough. Bring SynthBoard the calls that are expensive to get wrong, where you need to hear the other side.

What if the experts are wrong?

They can be: the experts are AI. That is why every memo shows how confident the board is, what would flip the call and who disagreed, and why the call stays yours.
