AI Advisory Council: Many Expert Views, One Clear Recommendation
Hard decisions debated from every side, with a clear recommendation.
The AI Advisory Council is the AI advisory board in the Ai1 platform by MyZone AI: it researches your hardest decision, seats advisors with different viewpoints to debate it in a structured way and hands you a clear recommendation with both sides laid out, and you confirm the council before the debate begins.
Your verdict comes from a balanced, structured debate, with the reasoning written down, not a black box you take on faith.
Every side heard
Advisors with different expertise test your options from angles your team may not raise, and minority views are kept, not buried.
Evidence before opinion
Research comes first, so the debate starts from real, current information rather than guesswork.
A record of every call
Each verdict and its reasoning stays in a searchable decision log, so future decisions build on past ones.

Capabilities
What the AI Advisory Council does for you
Seats a council of expert advisors
Pick from a curated library of advisor personas, from philosophers to technology leaders, or let it recommend a roster for your question.
Researches before anyone argues
Before the debate it gathers evidence on several tracks at once, from outside sources and your own knowledge, so advisors argue from facts.
Runs a fair, blind first round
Each advisor writes an opening view in private. Views are revealed only once everyone has weighed in, so no one simply echoes another.
Debates the hard parts
Advisors then challenge each other's views round by round, testing your options from different angles.
Delivers a clear recommendation
A branded report sets out the recommendation, the arguments for and against, minority views and next actions, at a stable link you can share.
Remembers every decision
A searchable decision log keeps every verdict and its reasoning, and the key lessons are saved for future decisions.
How the AI Advisory Council differs from asking a single AI for an answer
Asking a single AI gives you one line of thinking, with no way to see what it left out. The AI Advisory Council researches first, then seats advisors with different viewpoints who write private opening views before debating the options. You review and confirm the roster, so the panel you approved is the panel that decides. The report lays out both sides and any minority views, and the final call stays with you.
How this differs from the Prediction Agent: To track how likely the big questions in your business are and watch the odds move, use the Prediction Agent; the AI Advisory Council gives you one clear recommendation on a hard decision.

Example decision report
Example: council decision report
Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended.
What it was asked: We have about $420,000 to invest over two years. Should we open a second showroom in the city, or put it into online sales and a trade programme for designers?
Example report
Verdict: grow online and trade first, revisit the showroom in 12 monthsThe council and where each advisor stoodThe evidence, and how the options scoredDissent, risks and next steps
What it found: 3 findings, with the numbers
Four of six AI advisors recommend online sales and a designer trade programme first, scoring 7.6 out of 10 against 5.5 for a second showroom.
Designer trade orders average $6,900 against $2,350 for walk-in buyers, and 71% of surveyed customers first found the company online.
The showroom minority view is kept in full, with pop-up weekends to test it and a 12-month review against four signals.
This is an illustrative example of the decision report AI Advisory Council is being built to produce: a verdict, each advisor's blind and final position, the evidence, option scores, dissent and next steps. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented furniture maker, with invented advisor viewpoints, research and figures. No real systems or people were involved, and nothing was decided, spent or sent. Run date: .

Can AI give a useful second opinion on a big business decision?
