## What you end up with

A small call gets argued from three sides and scored by a script instead of by your agent's guess.

## What you get

- Why one agent is a bad board
- Seven rules for agents that run a quick council
- A made-up quick sitting to copy
- council_mini.py: the weighted score, the band and ten read-only checks

## Who it is for

Owners and operators who want a quick, scored second look at a small call they can undo.

## Tools needed

- Python 3.8 or newer: runs council.py (brief, card, round and verdict checks, the score, the rules check and the eval set) and ratify.py; standard library only, no network
- You need: Python 3.8 or newer
- You need: One decision with two or more options

Cost to run: Free.

## Sample prompt: Quick council (Grok Bot, Claude Code, Codex, Hermes)

```
Quick council: [the decision]? Write sitting.md with options A, B and do nothing, seats Offers, Craft and Rules, then run python3 council_mini.py sitting.md and copy the scores exactly. Do not act on the result.
```

The rules, sitting and script are in the file.

# Decision Council: quick mode, three seats and a scored round (free sample)

Version 1.0, 2026-11-01. By PaperChaseWebb. For owners and operators who want a small business call argued from three sides before they make it, with the arithmetic done by a script instead of the agent. One page, a sitting you can copy and one Python 3 script, standard library only, read-only: it reads one file, prints the scores and findings and changes nothing. It sends nothing and opens no network connection. No API key, no login. Tested on Linux with Python 3.13, 3.12, 3.11, 3.9 and 3.8: 5 unit tests, and every planted fault for its ten checks caught. The example studio is made up.

## Why one agent is a bad board

Ask one agent whether to do the thing and it tends to agree with you. Ask it to play three advisors and they sound alike, the scores drift, and the summary reads like whatever you leaned toward.

Quick mode fixes the shape of the room, not the answer:

- Three seats, each a business function: Offers (price, margin, how soon money lands), Craft (can we deliver it well), Rules (which terms or rules apply).
- Doing nothing is always an option.
- Every seat scores every option and backs the one it scored highest.
- Weights you set, with one or two seats at 3.
- No seat speaks as a real person.
- A script does the weighted average and the band, so the number is the number.

## Test record

- Date: Nov 1, 2026
- What was run: tests/test_mini.py (5), the planted faults against council_mini.py in tests/mutate.py, and the copy extracted from the sample page. Linux, Python 3.13, 3.12, 3.11, 3.9 and 3.8.
- Result: 5 passed, 0 failed on all five versions; every planted fault for M01 to M10 caught; the extracted copy scored the example sitting A 4.3, B 7.7, C 5.2 with 0 findings.
- Not run: Rounds 2 and 3, the verdict checks, ratification and the eval set (the full kit does those).

Copied from this item's dated test notes. What was not run stays in.

## Worth knowing

- Quick mode is one round and three seats, for calls you can undo. The debate and vote rounds, five seats, the verdict checks, overrides, owner ratification and the eval set are in the full kit.
- A score is not a forecast and not legal, tax or financial advice.
- On 2026-11-01 council_mini.py passed 5 unit tests and every planted fault for its ten checks on Linux with Python 3.13, 3.12, 3.11, 3.9 and 3.8, and the copy extracted from the sample page scored the example sitting A 4.3, B 7.7, C 5.2 with 0 findings.

## Questions

**Does it change my files?** No. It reads the sitting you name and prints scores and findings. It opens no network connection and changes nothing.

**What is in the full kit?** Five seats, three rounds, 50 checks on the brief, cards and verdict, overrides a vote cannot beat, owner ratification at your terminal, an eval set and setup for Grok Bot, Claude Code, Codex and Hermes. $39.
