## What this is for

Navigate build-vs-buy, roadmap priorities, architecture decisions, and technical trade-offs with expert perspectives.

## Example questions

- Should we build this feature in-house or integrate a third-party?
- Is it time to migrate from our monolith to microservices?
- How should we prioritize between 5 competing feature requests?
- Should we go mobile-first or desktop-first for v2?

## Synths that fit this decision

- **The Designer** — Champions user experience and design thinking
- **The Engineer** — Evaluates technical feasibility and trade-offs
- **The Analyst** — Data-driven prioritization framework
- **The Growth Hacker** — Connects product decisions to growth levers

## Sample outcome

**Consensus score:** 81%

**Recommendation:** Build responsive with desktop-priority UX. Ship desktop polish first, then optimize mobile incrementally.

### Key points

- Desktop-first for power users (70% of revenue)
- Responsive design, not separate mobile app
- API access before real-time collaboration

### Watch-outs

- Mobile table-stakes for new user acquisition
- Technical debt in responsive layer

## 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).
