Start with the decision
A useful roundtable starts with one hard question, a real constraint, and a clear decision owner. Ask the room to argue the tradeoffs before you ask for a final recommendation.
Use different minds for different risks
Pair operators with investors and product thinkers. Mango catches incentives, Buffet catches durability, and Jogs catches taste. The value is the disagreement.
End with an action
The final answer should name the best option, the strongest objection, the first reversible test, and the signal that would change the decision.
