## What this is for

Stress-test an investment — startup, real estate, portfolio allocation — with a panel of expert advisors.

## Example questions

- Should I invest in this startup round?
- How should I allocate a $1M windfall across asset classes?
- Should I buy the rental property or invest the capital in the market?
- Is this founder worth writing a check for?

## Synths that fit this decision

- **The Investor** — Applies pattern-matching on deal quality and fund math
- **The CFO** — Stress-tests cash flow and tax implications
- **The Skeptic** — Challenges the thesis on its weakest axis
- **The Futurist** — Tests whether the bet compounds over 10+ years

## Sample outcome

**Consensus score:** 60%

**Recommendation:** Allocate half the intended amount now; revisit the rest in 6 months as diligence reveals more. Preserve optionality.

### Key points

- Half-size position limits downside while preserving upside
- 6-month re-evaluation window catches fast-changing signals
- Documented thesis makes future review honest

### Watch-outs

- Missing the round-close window if you delay
- Anchoring on initial framing vs. new information

## 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).
