Consensus

Choose among alternatives through structured comparison and stance rotation.

Workflow

1. Load the comparison procedure and stance-rotation method below.
2. Select sequential or isolated-subagent mode from the decision's scope and reversibility.
3. Compare the alternatives, rotate through the required stances, and synthesize a recommendation.

Guardrails

Require genuine differences between views. Do not manufacture disagreement or let one stance contaminate the others when isolated analysis is required.

Output

State the decision, points of agreement and disagreement, a recommendation with low/medium/high confidence, conditions that would change it, and concrete next steps.

Validation

Confirm each stance contributed distinct evidence and the confidence level is proportional to the comparison.

Example

Compare two API approaches, identify their operational and migration costs, then recommend one with explicit reversal conditions.
