The Tank

The Tank convenes five advisers for each round.

See pricingSolo and Team

Each round the Chairperson picks five advisers. If it cannot pick five, it asks what you want to put to the board instead of running a smaller one.

What it does

The Chairperson reads what you sent last and picks five advisers for the round. Each adviser gets a private brief and answers on their own.

Why

Five versions of one answer are not a board. Different blind spots give you different reactions to the same situation.

What it won't do

  • It won't convene fewer than five when it picks a board. If it can't pick five, it asks what you want to put to the board.

Each Tank adviser is told to hold its position unless given a reason to move.

Every adviser is instructed to keep its position unless someone gives it a reason to change, and to name the flaw in its earlier reasoning if it does.

The Tank

The Tank counts the board's verdict and reports a split as a split.

On a real decision the Chairperson names the options first, each adviser backs one or declines, and a dealbreaker shows even when it loses. An option without enough weight returns as a split.
