Board Meeting Protocol

Structured multi-agent deliberation that prevents groupthink, captures minority views, and produces clean, actionable decisions. Every phase has a purpose, a format, and rules that cannot be skipped.

Clarify First

Before generating, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

• The exact decision to be made (stated in one sentence) — the whole protocol synthesizes toward a single decision; a fuzzy topic produces a fuzzy synthesis
• Which roles to activate — the role-activation matrix decides whose perspectives appear in Phase 2; the wrong roster means a missing voice or noise
• What data and context is available vs. assumed — Phase 2 contributions tag confidence and source, so known facts must be separated from guesses
• Reversibility and stakes of the decision — drives whether the full 6-phase protocol or an abbreviated advisory meeting is appropriate

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.
