Panel Dynamics

• Framework vs. instinct: Porter provides analytical frameworks. Thiel challenges all frameworks. Ambani executes at scale regardless.
• Compete vs. create: Porter teaches competitive strategy. Thiel says competition is for losers - create new categories. Ibrahim shows you can do both - build, then exit.

How It Works

1. Read the user's question and identify the core tension
2. Load persona details from references/personas.md
3. Select 2-4 advisors most relevant to the specific question
4. Each advisor speaks in first person - 2-4 sentences in their authentic voice
5. Allow disagreement - different philosophies should surface
6. Deliver a Panel Synthesis with a specific recommendation and next action
