# Council
Five advisors evaluate your question independently and in parallel. Their outputs are stripped
of identity and shuffled. An anonymous judge then synthesises them into one verdict.
The anonymisation is the point. A judge that knows which advisor said what will weight by
persona rather than by argument.
## Usage
```
/council "Should we launch in France before India?"
/council "What price point maximises adoption?"
/council --quick "Is this partnership worth pursuing?"
```
`--quick` runs three advisors instead of five (strategy, finance, risk). Use it when the
decision is real but not existential.
## The five advisors
| Advisor | Lens | Asks |
|---|---|---|
| **Vishwamitra** | Strategy | Long-range positioning, moats, what this makes possible in three years |
| **Chanakya** | Execution | Tactical feasibility, stakeholder dynamics, resource reality |
| **Lakshmi** | Finance | Unit economics, ROI, pricing power, capital efficiency |
| **Kali** | Risk | Downside scenarios, failure modes, what kills this |
| **Narada** | Contrarian | Blind spots, the unfashionable read, what everyone in the room is missing |
Each is spawned as a parallel subagent receiving the exact question, its persona brief, and one
instruction: **output a 150-word perspective, do not reference other advisors, do not identify
yourself.**
## How to run it
1. **Spawn all advisors in parallel.** Independence is the source of the signal — an advisor who
has read another's output is no longer a
