DROPDOWN LOGISTICS · ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Council.
Ten seats. Nine platforms. One governed system.
The DDL Council is a ten-seat advisory architecture spanning the major AI platforms. Each seat is a named, profiled council member with a defined role, behavioral contract, and institutional function. The council deliberates. The corpus remembers. The operator decides.

HOW IT WORKS
Council reviews are distributed to all seats simultaneously. Each seat responds independently — no cross-contamination. Dex Jr. synthesizes. The operator reacts. Verdicts are LOCK, REVISE, or REJECT. Nothing ships without a ratified decision.
