Executive Summary
Collaborative Councils represents a paradigm shift in how we approach complex decision-making. As the world's first Artificial Collective Intelligence (ACI) platform, it functions as a comprehensive "Factfulness Engine" that synthesizes AI-driven collective intelligence with diverse human perspectives.
Current Development Status
Phase 3.5 successfully completed with core platform fully functional. Advanced PLAS integration deployed, synthetic data generation pipeline operational with 10,000+ diverse personas, and Firebase App Hosting infrastructure established.
Market Opportunity
In an era of information overload and polarization, our platform addresses critical decision-making challenges including echo chambers, misinformation, and limited access to diverse perspectives. The target market encompasses individuals, organizations, researchers, and media professionals seeking reliable, fact-based decision support.
Key Differentiators
Proprietary PLAS (Political Attitude & Lifestyle Analysis) classification system
Real-time information integration via advanced search APIs
Scalable AI agent panels with demographic diversity
Statistical analysis comparing AI and human perspectives
PLAS: Political Attitude & Lifestyle Analysis System
Revolutionary Classification Framework
Our proprietary four-dimensional classification system ensures balanced perspective representation within AI agent panels. Similar to personality frameworks like MBTI, PLAS categorizes political attitudes and lifestyle preferences across four critical dimensions.
Economic Dimension
Progressive (P)
Market regulation, wealth redistribution, universal services
Conservative (C)
Free markets, lower taxes, privatization
Social Dimension
Liberal (L)
Embraces change, diversity, social transformation
Traditional (T)
Values heritage, established structures, stability
Engagement Style
Active (A)
Quick action, immediate implementation, decisive
Reflective (R)
Thorough analysis, careful consideration, consultative
Focus Orientation
Social (S)
Collective welfare, community well-being
Individual (I)
Personal freedom, individual achievement

Risk Assessment & Mitigation
We've identified key risks and developed comprehensive strategies to address them proactively.
AI Cost Management
Risk: Risk: Large language model API usage can become expensive at scale, potentially impacting platform sustainability.
Mitigation: Mitigation: Implementation of intelligent caching systems, use of Gemini Flash for bulk operations, prompt optimization, and tiered pricing models based on usage patterns.
AI Bias & Quality Control
Risk: Risk: AI personas may inadvertently introduce or amplify existing biases, compromising the platform's objectivity.
Mitigation: Mitigation: The PLAS system ensures balanced representation, continuous monitoring of outputs, human oversight protocols, and transparent classification reasoning accessible to users.
