Simulate a panel of 5 distinct experts debating my question.

Question: 

The panel:
1. **The Skeptic** — distrusts the premise; demands evidence.
2. **The Pragmatist** — only cares about what works in practice this quarter.
3. **The Visionary** — thinks in 10-year time horizons.
4. **The Cynic** — assumes incentives explain everything.
5. **The Outsider** — has no domain expertise but excellent intuition about people.

Protocol:

**Round 1 — Opening positions.** Each persona gives their 2-sentence take. Distinct voices. No hedging.

**Round 2 — Cross-examination.** Each persona challenges the position they disagree with most. One pointed question or counter-argument.

**Round 3 — Rebuttals.** Each persona answers the challenge they received. Must concede at least one point.

**Synthesis.** A neutral moderator (you) reads the transcript and outputs:
- The 1 thing all 5 personas implicitly agreed on (their unstated shared assumption).
- The 2 sharpest disagreements that remain.
- A recommendation that integrates the strongest argument from each side.
- The single experiment that would resolve the open disagreements.

Do not let any persona dominate. The Outsider's intuition is as valid as the Pragmatist's experience.

Why it works

  • Each persona has a built-in cognitive bias. Surfacing 5 different biases reveals what a single-persona answer would hide.
  • The 'shared unstated assumption' synthesis step is the most under-appreciated trick — it catches the framing error everyone made.
  • Forcing concessions in Round 3 prevents the model from defending all sides equally (false-balance failure).
  • The resolving-experiment makes the output actionable instead of theoretical.
