Brief, Panel and Analysis are Consultations: work with named experts. You pick the type, then the workspace, and you get a page ready for that work.

Consultation Who works on it What it is
Brief One expert A short answer to one question, with its sources
Panel Three to five experts A deliberation in turn, then one synthesis, with the disagreements kept
Analysis One expert, following a named method Plan, do the work, compile the document

The price is on the button before you click. Mission, a governed engagement with named roles and gates you sign, is in build.

Do not confuse:

  • Orient Guide is your Chief of Staff; a Brief is a named expert.
  • A Panel is three to five experts deliberating; a Mission is a multi-step engagement where people approve each step.
