# Council — 5-Model Strategic Advisory
Ask the same question to five LLM seats, each locked to a thinking role, then have the
orchestrator (Claude) synthesize. Quality matters more than latency or cost (~$0.50–$1.00
per call, 60–180s wall time).
## The five seats
| Seat | Default model | Role |
| --------------- | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Theorist | Gemini 3 Pro (or 2.5 Pro) | Research-grounded, framework-driven, lateral alternatives |
| Validator | gpt-5.5 + xhigh reasoning | Eval methodology, defensible cases, instruction-following |
| Provocateur | Moonshot Kimi K2.6 | Challenges premises, surfaces uncomfortable truths |
| Diagnostician | gpt-5.5 + xhigh reasoning | Names the mechanism, cites stratified evidence, commits to action |
| Field Engineer | DeepSeek-v4 (R1 reasoning) | Ready-to-paste artifacts, tabular root-cause analysis, iterative |
The orchestrator (whichever model is running the skill) does the Blue Hat synthesis pass.
Including the orchestrator as a seat would be self-querying.
Each seat is overridable via environment variables — see "Configuration" below.
## Preparation protocol
The brief IS the work. Budget 15–30 minutes assembling it before launching any seats.
1. Research the topic. If your stack has
