Run a Council of 5 strategy review on this decision. Evaluate it from 5 independent advisor perspectives:
1. The Contrarian (Risk Lens) — What could go wrong? Hidden failure modes?
2. First Principles (Zero-Base) — Strip all assumptions. What is actually true here?
3. The Expansionist (Upside Lens) — Forget constraints. What’s the biggest version of this opportunity?
4. The Outsider (Cold Read) — Zero context. What would a stranger observe looking only at the facts?
5. The Executor (Action Lens) — Skip analysis. What are the exact 3 next actions?
Then give a Chairman’s Verdict: one ultimate recommendation + the single most important next step.
Decision: [e.g. Should we open a third location? / Should we add remote patient monitoring as a service line? / Should we invest in a physician liaison vs. digital ads?]
