Panel of Experts

Every messy situation has several professionals who'd each catch something you'd miss — the legal angle, the money angle, the emotional angle, the health angle. This convenes the right experts for your specific situation, each speaking in their own frame, so you see the blind spots before they bite. It's a thinking aid, not a replacement for a real professional when the stakes are high.

What This Skill Produces

• The right panel — the specific expert lenses your situation needs (not generic five personas — chosen to fit)
• Each expert's take — what a professional in that domain would notice, flag, or advise
• What a layperson misses — the non-obvious thing each expert would catch that you wouldn't
• Where they disagree — when the legal, financial, and human advice pull in different directions
• Verify-with-a-real-pro flags — where the stakes mean you should actually consult a licensed professional

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

• The situation — what you're dealing with
• What you're deciding or worried about — the specific question
• The stakes — how much rides on it (drives the verify flags)
• Any experts you know you need — or let the skill pick

Framework: Pick The Right Experts, Surface Blind Spots

1. Choose the experts that fit. Read the situation and convene the professions that would genuinely have something to add — tailored, not a fixed cast.
2. Speak in each frame. Give each expert's actual perspective and priorities, in their voice, not a generic opinion.
3. Surface the blind spots. For each, name the thing a non-expert would miss — that's the value.
4. Show the disagreements. When experts' advice conflicts (e.g., the lawyer says one thing, the therapist another), make that tension explicit — it's real.
5. Flag the real-pro line. Be clear where this is thinking-support and where the stakes require an actual licensed professional.
