For Operators

The execution stops
when the calls stop.

Operators are paid to make and unblock decisions, fast. SynthBoard turns "I need to think about this" into a consult — about a minute — or a board that lands in about 6–10 minutes.

Start free See how it works

In short

Your CEO has limited bandwidth and incomplete context on the operational call. A board gives you The CFO's view, The Operator's, and The Skeptic's in about 6–10 minutes. Then either make the call without escalating, or escalate with the memo so the CEO is already informed.

An example

One ask, start to finish.
What comes back is a memo.

How a board takes a call like this: her read, who sits, what they ask first, then the call — with how sure they are, who disagreed and the first step.

Operators

Example · Board of 3

We have 3 critical hires open. Which sequence ships fastest?

Chief of staff

This one needs a board: The Operator, The CFO and The Strategist. The Operator turns strategy into the boring, sequenced work that actually ships. Each researches alone first, then they react to one another — and on a decision, two of them take opposed sides.

The board’s call

Sequence: Founding Engineer first (3-week ramp accelerates the others), then Sales Lead (closes Q3 pipeline), then PM (lower urgency, can be backfilled with the CTO acting interim).

The engineer hire compounds — every other hire moves faster once they're onboarded. Sales lead before PM because Q3 pipeline gap is the bigger near-term risk.

The Strategist disagreed

“CTO bandwidth for interim PM coverage is fragile — set a hard 90-day limit”

Other asks people bring here

Several asks in one message become several rooms, each with its expert and its own price on the card. Keep or drop any, then convene them together.

  • Should we kill the Friday all-hands or restructure it? — The CFO, up to 85 credits
  • Two team leads disagree on the OKR cascade — how do I unblock without picking sides? — The Strategist, up to 85 credits
  • Our vendor renewal is up — switch, renegotiate, or accept the price hike? — The Empath, up to 85 credits

What you get

What she handles.
On this kind of call.

Unblock fast

The decisions that pile up on your desk are the ones with no obvious right answer. A board lays out the trade-offs and the dissent in about 6–10 minutes, so you can make the call and move.

Get the room without the meeting

You don't always need to pull leadership together. A board captures much of a leadership huddle's value, and you read the memo when it lands — nothing needs you to sit and watch.

Track the call, not just the work

Every memo ends in a first step with a date. Six months in, you have a decision trail — what was decided, why, and who disagreed.

Why SynthBoard

Why SynthBoard for this.
Not one voice. A board.

Decision-to-execution, fast

No scheduling, no calendar tetris, no 24-hour wait for a leadership email reply. A consult takes about a minute; a board, about 6–10 minutes.

Multi-angle on every call

The CFO keeps you on budget, The Operator keeps you sequenced, The Skeptic keeps you honest. All in one room.

Decision audit trail

For COOs and chiefs of staff who need to document the "why" behind calls, every memo is the record: the call, the conditions, who disagreed and why.

Bring leadership in only when it matters

Send the memo to the CEO. It saves them the meeting and gives them the dissent.

Who sits

The experts for this call.
Each one holds a position.

Your Chief of Staff proposes who sits for the call, and every board is built with someone whose job is to argue against the obvious answer. Name an expert and they take a seat; tell her who you want on your board and they sit by default. How many seats a board has depends on your plan.

Questions

Fair questions.
Straight answers.

What people ask before they bring this call to a board.

How is this different from running it past my CEO?

Your CEO has limited bandwidth and incomplete context on the operational call. A board gives you The CFO's view, The Operator's, and The Skeptic's in about 6–10 minutes. Then either make the call without escalating, or escalate with the memo so the CEO is already informed.

Can I bring the actual leadership team into a board?

Not into the room — the experts are AI, and there is no shared team workspace. A board’s memo shares as a page anyone can read without an account. Run the board, then drop the memo in Slack; the dissent makes the discussion sharper.

Will this work for ops in a remote/async team?

Especially well. Async teams lose the spontaneous hallway debate. The Boardroom gives you that pressure-test, captured, shareable.

Is there a mode that fits ops cadence?

There are no modes to pick; she sizes the room to the call. For a call-it-now decision, a consult takes about a minute; for the bigger ones, a board lands in about 6–10 minutes.

Can I connect Linear, Slack, or Notion?

Yes. She reads Linear, Slack, Notion and more — 62 integrations — and says what she read. On Pro and above she can write to them too, and every write is a preview you confirm.
