Cloverpop records decisions.
A board helps you make them.

What a board adds

  • Named experts who hold a position, on different AI models
  • On a decision, two are assigned opposite sides
  • The call, how sure the board is, and who disagreed and why
  • Your world on file, work and home apart, and a first step with a date

24 named experts on the bench

One call, side by side

Same question.
A different kind of answer.

A business call, typed the way a person types it: the board’s run, next to the shape of what Cloverpop would hand back. An example, trimmed for length.

Retire the legacy plan?

Work · Board of 3

400 customers are still on our 2021 Starter plan at $19 a month. Each costs us about $11 a month to serve. Do we retire it and move them to the $49 plan, or leave it alone?

Chief of staff

Your board is seated: The Customer, The CFO, The Operator. They read the brief first, then research, then argue it out.

The board’s call

Retire it in two steps: close Starter to new sign-ups now, and move current customers to a $29 bridge price for a year before $49.

Starter brings in $7,600 a month and keeps about $3,200 after serving costs. Going straight to $49 more than doubles the price; a bridge year keeps most of these customers while the margin improves.

Confidence65 · Moderate

The Customer disagreed

“Many of these 400 chose you because of $19. Ask ten of them what they would pay before you set the bridge price.”

Is SynthBoard for teams?

Today SynthBoard is built for one decision-maker: your thread, your file, your experts. You can share a board’s memo as a page anyone can read without an account.

Does SynthBoard keep a record of decisions?

Yes. What you decided stays on file, and when a new ask would reverse it she names it first.

Is every question a board?

No. Your Chief of Staff answers the everyday herself. A question that needs one expert becomes a consult; only the biggest calls go to a board. Talking to your Chief of Staff is free within a daily allowance. A consult or a board shows its price on the card before anything runs, and nothing runs until you tap.

What if the experts are wrong?

They can be: the experts are AI. That is why every memo shows how confident the board is, what would flip the call and who disagreed, and why the call stays yours.
