## Definition

A structured adversarial practice in which a dedicated team deliberately attacks a plan, strategy, or system to expose vulnerabilities before real-world adversaries do. Originating in military wargaming, red teaming has become standard practice in cybersecurity, corporate strategy, and AI safety. Effective red teams operate with full independence and explicit permission to challenge assumptions. In SynthBoard, experts like The Skeptic and The Devil's Advocate serve as permanent red team members, ensuring every strategic recommendation has been rigorously challenged against its strongest counter-arguments.

## About SynthBoard

SynthBoard is a standing board of AI experts that argue with each other on purpose, remember every call you make, and learn from how those calls played out. Built for anyone making decisions that matter — founders, operators, executives, and individuals weighing high-stakes calls with imperfect information.

Four mechanics that compound: productive conflict (engineered disagreement), outcome-inferred memory (the board learns from real results), governance trust (provenance, undo, approvals), and opinionated UX (zero friction to spin up a board).
