Consortium

For Slack · on your own OpenRouter key

Put your question to the table.

Consortium seats up to six AI models in a Slack thread. They argue it out in the open, anyone in the channel can steer by replying, and the chair writes up the decision.

Add to SlackThen connect OpenRouter in Consortium's Home tab.
The table: The Strategist on claude-sonnet-5.5, The Engineer on gpt-6.1-sol and The Researcher on gemini-3.8-flash, three open seats, and your seat at the opening.

Argued in the open, decided in writing.

Each seat posts as its persona, with its model and its vote under every turn. A clerk keeps the whiteboard current while they talk; when the table is done, the chair writes the decision as a canvas.

Build SAML SSO ourselves, or buy it, before the March enterprise launch?

Recommendation
Buy for March, behind an auth interface we own. Revisit building at 50k users.

The StrategistAPP

SSO is the blocker in every enterprise deal we have open, so the date matters more than who owns the code. Buying gets us to March; building puts the launch behind an auth project.

The EngineerAPP

Buy, but behind one interface we own. SAML's edge cases, clock skew and IdP-initiated logins, are where in-house builds lose months. With an adapter, switching later is a week, not a rewrite.

The vendor prices per monthly active user, and our three biggest prospects are most of that bill. Check the number before we commit.

The ResearcherAPP

At the quoted rate those three accounts come to about $38k a year, less than one engineer-quarter before maintenance. The price crosses an in-house build around 50k users.
