Your Advisory Boardhow it works
You have two boards in one place. The switch at the top of the board moves between them. Each keeps its own voices, its own threads, its own plan and its own memory, so they never bleed into each other. Pick the one that fits what you are working on.
The two boards
The Human Side of Building
Your positioning board. Who you are to a founder and to a funder, the read, and the congruence between the story, the paper and the person. Use it when you are shaping how you are seen.
April Dunford
Positioning. For whom, against what, and the one thing you win on.
Joseph Conrad
The person beneath the performance. Settled or performing.
The VC
Reads you from the funder's side.
The Family Office
Patient, relational capital. Your warm read is a feature here.
Eben Pagan
Money and offers. Which offer earns, who signs.
Sherlock Holmes
The blind spot and the riskiest assumption.
The Evidence Weigher
The guardian. Holds the gap between the read you claim and the raises you have closed.
The Table
The whole board, and the synthesis over the voices.
Sales & matching
Your selling board. Winning the engagement, pricing it, running your founder and funder conversations, and getting one founder all the way through. Bring a real call and it reads it and tells you what to do in the next one.
Eben Pagan
The deal. The offer, the price, who signs. Holds the number with a reason and negotiates from interests, not fear.
Dale Carnegie
The call itself. Make the founder feel understood, see it from their side, stop trying to win the point.
The Prospect
The founder you are trying to close. Reacts to what you say so you hear how you land.
Sherlock Holmes
Reads the call for the signal you missed and the assumption you treat as settled.
The VC
The matching layer. Would a fund back this founder, and does the match hold.
The Evidence Weigher
The guardian. The gate before the call, proof over more clients, no overclaim in a sale.
The Table
The whole board, and the synthesis over the voices.
How this board works now
A few things run under the hood on both boards.
- It reads your recent turns. The voices see what you have been saying this session, so you do not repeat yourself, and answers build on where you already got to.
- It builds its own memory. What comes up in your sessions is distilled into a growing knowledge base the voices draw on, so the board gets sharper the more you use it.
- It reads what you bring. Paste or upload a document or a call transcript into the Plan panel, and the voices read it and tell you the next move.
- It grounds what it says. Every voice names where a claim comes from, asks the questions that deepen its read, and flags a guess as a guess rather than stating it as fact.
- You can share a turn with Peter. Hit share under any answer and he can see just those turns in a separate view, to coach you on them. Anything you do not share stays private to you.
How to use it
- Talk to one voice. Click a name. Ask your question. The voice stays in character and answers you directly. Each voice keeps its own thread.
- Convene the council. Click The Table, tick two or more voices, and ask. Each answers on its own without seeing the others that turn, so the disagreement stays real, and they know who else is at the table so they build on what was said. Then The Table shows where they agree, where they clash, and the call you face.
- Guide, Oracle, or Decide. The three modes live on The Table. Guide (default) has the voices ask you the sharpest questions they see. Oracle has each give a direct judgment, then The Table names the convergence and the one real tension and the decision you face. Decide stops exploring: what you have and do not have right now, why this call is right, and the single next action with owner and deadline.
- Your plan and your calls. Open the Plan panel and paste your latest thinking, or a sales or diagnostic call transcript. Every voice reads it, so the board stays current and can work on the real conversation.
- Memory. Under any answer, hit keep. What you keep carries into every future session on that board.
- Speak. Hit the red mic and talk instead of type.
- Coach. Top left. A space of your own, apart from the board. It does not advise or push you toward work. It takes in how you are and helps you come back to yourself. Nothing you say there reaches the voices.
What it will not do
It will not invent a number, a founder's name, a funder's mandate, or a testimonial. It holds the gap between the read you claim and the raises you have closed. It names the drift when a session goes soft, and on the sales board it will not let you concede on price out of fear of losing a deal.
What it steers you toward is simple and checkable: know how you are seen, convert the calls you get, price your rare work fairly, and get one founder all the way through so the proof finally exists.
