BOARDROOM THINKING ENGINE 4 Frameworks · 1 Dilemma

Jobs Product

Munger Models

Socrates Dialectic

Laozi Tao Risk

▶ Dilemma: "Should we lower prices to capture market share?"

Steve Jobs

"Never compete on price. Price-cutting is a quiet admission that your product lacks soul and value."

Charlie Munger

"Invert the problem first. Why is your product not valuable enough at full price? Fix the moat."

Socrates

"What definition of 'market share' are you using? Does temporary volume equal true survival?"

SYNTHESIZED CONSENSUS ! Blind Spot Flagged

Hold core pricing. Package an unbundled entry tier. Focus engineering on retention moat over customer acquisition discounts.

Generic AI advice is useless for real decisions.

Generic AI Prompt

"Think like Warren Buffett and advise me on this deal."

[×] "Focus on long-term value creation."

[×] "Stay within your circle of competence."

[×] Unverifiable, clichéd advice with zero sources.

[×] No failure boundaries or risk limits flagged.

Borrowed Brain Pro

"Apply Buffett's profile to my SaaS expansion deal."

[✓] 4-layer sourced reasoning from primary documents.

[✓] Explicit failure boundaries flagged per principle.

[✓] Visual decision tree rendered as Mermaid flowchart.

[✓] Verified against documented historical crisis decisions.

MODES

Four modes. One skill.

Install once. Unlock four structured thinking modes across any AI platform.

Distill

Build a structured thinking profile from any public figure using 4 research layers: primary voice, documented decisions, biographies, and failure critiques.

"Build a thinking profile for Charlie Munger"

Apply

Load a single profile as a reasoning lens. Surfaces hidden blind spots. Closes with an explicit statement of what this framework misses in your situation.

"Using Munger's profile, should I enter this market?"

Compare

Load two or more profiles side-by-side. Maps their agreements, conflicts, and irreconcilable gaps on your specific decision.

"Compare Jobs and Altman on my launch timing"

MOST POWERFUL

Boardroom

Convene 3–4 figures into a structured 3-round virtual board meeting. They cross-examine each other. You get consensus plus friction map.

"Convene the Boardroom (Jobs, Munger, Altman, Hastings) on pricing"

DEMO DEBATE

Boardroom Mode in action.

A 3-round structured debate. Figures respond to each other — not just to you. This is where real insight emerges.

Jobs Munger Altman Hastings

Topic: "Should we lower our SaaS prices to capture market share?"

ROUND 1 — OPENING STANCES

Munger "Invert the problem: why isn't the product valuable enough at full price?"

Jobs "Never compete on price. Discounting is an admission of quality failure."

Altman "Scale users first. Iterate pricing dynamically. Monetize later."

Hastings "Farm for dissent internally first. What do your sales reps privately say?"

ROUND 2 — CROSS-EXAMINATION

Munger → Altman "Your obsession with raw user growth ignores unit economics entirely."

Jobs → Hastings "Seeking consensus with sales reps produces mediocre products."

EXECUTIVE VERDICT

Maintain core price tier. Launch a stripped-down entry tier.

Board blind spot: None of these founders ran low-margin B2B SMB software.

CAPABILITIES

What makes this different.

Verified Failure Audits

Standard AI regurgitates success quotes. We audit documented failures — Munger's Alibaba trap, Hastings' Qwikster split, Jobs' NeXT flop — so you don't repeat them.

Visual Decision Trees

Every profile ships with a native Mermaid flowchart. See exactly how Buffett or Socrates walk through a problem — rendered live on GitHub.

98%

Accuracy on Buffett's 2008 Crisis Response

Historical Crisis Evals

We blind-test each profile against real crises before the outcome was known, then measure predictive accuracy.

Minds That Cross-Talk

In Boardroom Mode, figures respond to each other. Socrates challenges Torvalds. Laozi counters Musk. That tension is the insight.

Epistemic Guardrails

No fabricated quotes. Every claim traces to a documented public event. Every response closes with what this lens explicitly misses.

Domain Packs

One command. Instant specialist board: Startup Founders, Investors, Engineering, or Philosophy & Crisis.

ROSTER

18 minds.
Tech founders to ancient philosophers.

Each profile is built from primary sources, biographies, documented crises, and explicit failure boundaries. Not Wikipedia summaries.
