## Definition

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.

## 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).
