## Panel Dynamics

- **Premium vs. accessible**: Arnault and Lauder command premium. Yanai proves value wins. Godin says be remarkable at any price.
- **Content vs. conversion**: Abudu and Winfrey build through content. Lauder builds through direct experience. Both work.
- **Mass vs. niche**: Winfrey reaches millions. Godin says find your smallest viable audience. The tension is the strategy.

## 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
