How it works
Two ways to use it: get advice, or get grilled.
Ask a question and a panel of advisors argues it out in the open. Or flip it around: the panel interviews you, scores every answer, and tells you what to fix before the real thing.
Advise: one question, start to finish
Bring a decision. Several advisors answer it from different sides, then the panel says where it stands.
01 · Ask
Type it the way you would say it
No prompts to write. Say what you are deciding, with any dates, money or people involved. If it is vague, the question check suggests a clearer version; using it is up to you.
02 · Your panel
We pick advisors who will disagree
Each advisor has a stated point of view and is chosen for your question. You can swap or remove any of them, or add another.
03 · The answers
Each one answers alone
No advisor sees the others before answering, so you get real disagreement, not one view repeated. Ask any of them a follow-up, or have them debate each other once.
04 · What the panel thinks
Where they agree, where they split, what is still yours to decide
One summary at the end, with an agreement score. Low agreement is often the most useful answer: it shows you the real trade-off.
The advisors come from a public catalog, no account needed: Browse all 269 advisors
Grill: a practice run, start to finish
Before the interview, the pitch or the hard conversation, the panel turns around and questions you.
01 · Set up
Pick the room and tell it the situation
Interview, pitch, board meeting or presentation. Add the role and the stage, and attach your resume, the job ad or your deck so every question is about your real situation.
02 · Answer
One question at a time
Up to 13 questions. The interviewers take turns, and the next one picks up the gap you left. You type your answers, at your own pace.
03 · Scored
A score for every answer, with the reasons
Every answer is scored from 0 to 100 on clear axes, and each interviewer gives a verdict. In practice mode you see each score straight after the answer.
04 · Debrief
The verdict, then run it again
What went well, what kept coming up, and what to fix before the real one. Run another grill and watch the number climb.
Your files, once, everywhere
Upload a resume, a job ad, a deck, a PDF, notes or a whole book once, and use it with any panel or grill. Reusing a file never costs a second upload. Remove it from one place, or delete it everywhere.
Every question stays in its thread, so you can come back next week and pick up where you left off.
The numbers you will see
| Number | What it means | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Score (in a grill) | Each grill answer, from 0 to 100, with the reasons. The debrief averages them and shows how your answers scored on each axis. | Grill |
| Agreement | How much the advisors lined up on the latest question in a thread. High means one shared read; low means they split, often the more useful answer. | Advise |
| Question score | How clear your question was, from 0 to 100. It is separate from the answer score, and it is the one you can improve week to week. | Advise |
| Answer score | How useful you have said the panel's answers were, from 0 to 100. Your Useful and Not useful taps make it up, so it is your rating, not ours. | Advise |
The words
| Panel | A small standing group of advisors you put together once and then keep coming back to; the panel is what answers you. |
|---|---|
| Advisor | One member of your panel: a fully written point of view that answers in its own words, and answers from your material when you attach it. |
| Round | One question plus everything it produced: each advisor's answer, and the panel's combined read at the end. |
| Thread | A saved conversation with one panel. A thread holds as many rounds as you want to ask, and it is still there when you come back. |
| Grill | A practice run where the panel questions you instead of you questioning them, then tells you how it went. |
| What the panel thinks | The one combined summary at the end of a round: what the advisors agree on, where they genuinely split, and what is still yours to decide. |
| What this panel is for | The scope you give a panel when you create it: the kinds of questions it will take on, and the ones it will turn down. |
| Ready | Your file has been read and the panel can quote from it. Until then it says Reading, and you can keep working while it does. |
| Question check | Before you send a question, we score it out of 100 and suggest a clearer version. It is optional and never stops you sending. |
| Debate | A second pass on a round the panel has already answered: each advisor reads the others' answers and replies once, then the panel's summary is written again to account for it. |
| Monthly allowance | Your plan's monthly allowance covers everything your panel does. Bigger panels and longer debates use more of it. |
