Synthesis Layer

The system component that aggregates, reconciles, and distills individual expert outputs into a unified, actionable recommendation. The synthesis layer identifies clusters of agreement, maps genuine points of disagreement, extracts minority opinions worth preserving, and produces a coherent narrative that decision-makers can act on.

The system component that aggregates, reconciles, and distills individual expert outputs into a unified, actionable recommendation. The synthesis layer identifies clusters of agreement, maps genuine points of disagreement, extracts minority opinions worth preserving, and produces a coherent narrative that decision-makers can act on.

Unlike simple averaging or majority voting, sophisticated synthesis preserves the reasoning chains behind each position, enabling users to understand not just what the recommendation is, but why each expert holds their view and where the genuine uncertainties lie.
