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

Raise prices now, or in January?

Work · Board of 3

We sell a $29-a-month tool to about 600 small businesses. Churn is 3% a month. Do we raise to $39 now, or wait until January when most renewals come up?

Chief of staff

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

The board’s call

Raise it for new customers now, and for existing ones in January with 60 days’ notice and the old price kept for a year on annual plans.

A $10 rise is about a third more per customer: you would have to lose about a quarter of your customers over it before it cost you money. New customers never saw the old price, so the rise costs nothing there; existing ones decide at renewal anyway, so January with notice is the fair moment.

How sureModerate

The Customer disagreed

“Small businesses read a price rise as a signal. Tell them what got better since they joined, or the notice is the thing they remember.”

First step Change the price on the signup page and draft the 60-day noticethis week

Keep comparing: vs ChatGPT · vs Claude · vs Gemini · All comparisons

Does SynthBoard use Grok?

Yes. Grok is one of the model families the experts sit on, alongside GPT, Claude, Gemini and more. A board spreads its seats across families, and every plan gets the same experts and the same models.

Can I not just ask Grok for several opinions?

You can, but it is one model in one context, and it tends to settle where your framing pointed. On SynthBoard each expert researches alone, seats are spread across model families, and on a decision two of them are assigned opposite sides. The disagreement stays in the memo, and what you decided stays on file for the next call.

Is every question a board?

No. Your Chief of Staff answers the everyday herself. A question that needs one expert gets that expert; only the biggest calls go to a board. Your plan is a month of usage, shown on one meter, not a price on every answer.

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.
