The structural form an advisory answer takes, chosen to fit the question rather than forced into one house template. A request to compare vendors should come back as a comparison; a request to plan a launch as a plan; a request for a number as a forecast; a request to write the actual email as prose.
SynthBoard routes each response into one of a fixed set of shapes — plan, decision, comparison, analysis, forecast, diagnosis, steps, ideas, research, a short direct answer, or a written draft — so the output is scannable and immediately usable. Shape mismatch is one of the quietest failures in AI tools: the content is right, the form makes it unusable.
