Press Run council and the answer lands here: the bottom line first, then every option ranked side by side, the disagreements the council settled, a go-to-market plan, a first-90-days action plan, and what could go wrong — plus downloads for the brief, the spreadsheet and the slides.

How to read the evidence tags: VERIFIED known fact · ASSUMPTION reasoned estimate, basis stated · UNKNOWN still needs research. No revenue, market-size or customer numbers are ever invented.  ·  The same research engine behind this page also runs as the command /f5-product-council.

Connect the live engine (optional)

Paste the web address of your council engine to ask brand-new questions live — each answer takes about 45 seconds. Leave it blank and the console replays its prepared, deeply researched answers instead.

For your technical team: the console sends POST {question, taskType} and renders the JSON the engine returns (see README → "Make it an application").

F5 Product Council

A simulated F5 product-leadership team that debates, scores, and decides — then keeps refining until the answer survives review. On the panel: an Orchestrator keeps the debate moving; the Chief Product Officer makes the final call; Strategy checks every answer against F5's 3-year plan; a Quality Reviewer tries to break each draft before it ships; five product managers (Service Provider, BIG-IP, NGINX, Distributed Cloud, AI Guardrails) each argue for their own product line; and Alliances and Competitive advisors bring the outside view.
