Arka Council

Multi-persona deliberation — three simulated experts answer the same question, then Arka synthesizes consensus, tension, and a verdict.

Arka Council runs one question past multiple simulated personas independently, then produces a structured synthesis: agreement, disagreement, and a clear verdict.

Council members are simulated personas for brainstorming, not real people or authoritative advice.
