# Review Panel
Fresh, independent eyes on something you have been too close to. After many rounds
on an artifact, both the user and the model **anchor** on the current direction —
each new pass defends it rather than questioning it. A panel of agents that have
*never seen the iteration*, pointed at the artifact from adversarial angles,
surfaces what the anchored view structurally cannot. The deliverable is a
**comparison and synthesis**, not a single opinion.
## When to convene — and at what size
Convene when the cost of being wrong exceeds the cost of the panel:
- you have iterated many rounds and genuinely can't tell if it's good anymore;
- a high-stakes or hard-to-reverse decision (architecture, a launch, a structural choice) —
**including a design or spec _before_ any build**, where pre-code defects (a wrong interface, a
missed failure mode, a motivated assumption) are cheapest to fix;
- **an irreversible outward step is next** — publishing a repo, cutting a release, going
public: the artifact is "done" and self-verified, which is exactly when fresh eyes still
find what the author's own verification missed (measured twice on launch-ready trees);
- an explicit ask: "fresh eyes", "second opinion", "red team", "poke holes", "am I anchored", `/review-panel`.
**A design/spec is panel-ready only when it is concrete enough to critique** — explicit interfaces,
failure modes, data flow, and at least one worked example. Panelling a bare sketch or intent yields
