Don Cheli: Senior Tech Panel

Panel Members

Each expert has 15+ years of experience and must back every argument with a real-world incident, benchmark, or published case study:

Instructions

Read the technical question or architecture decision to evaluate
Each panelist states their position with:

A clear recommendation (yes/no/conditional/alternative)
At least one supporting data point (incident, benchmark, RFC, published postmortem)
One concern or caveat

Panelists interact: if two panelists disagree, they must address each other's arguments directly
Conclude with a panel consensus or a documented dissent

Output Format

## Tech Panel: <topic>

### Tech Lead
**Position:** …
**Evidence:** …
**Concern:** …

### Sr. Backend Engineer
**Position:** …
**Evidence:** …
**Concern:** …

### Sr. Frontend Engineer
**Position:** …
**Evidence:** …
**Concern:** …

### Software Architect
**Position:** …
**Evidence:** …
**Concern:** …

### DevOps / SRE
**Position:** …
**Evidence:** …
**Concern:** …

### Cross-Debate
<Panelist A> → <Panelist B>: …
…

### Panel Conclusion
**Consensus / Majority recommendation:** …
**Dissent (if any):** …
**Conditions for the recommendation:** …

Quality Gate

Every panelist must cite at least one real-world data point — no opinions without evidence
If a panelist's domain is not directly relevant to the question, they must explain why they still have a stake
Consensus requires ≥3/5 panelists; otherwise output DISSENT with open questions

Do not use this skill when

The decision is purely business/product (use doncheli-debate instead)
The question has a clear industry standard answer (just cite the standard)
