Evaluation Profiles

Profiles control how Tempered analyses your decisions — which AI vendors participate, what strategy is used, and how consensus is reached.

Available Strategies

Single Vendor

One AI perspective evaluates your decision. Fast and cost-effective for routine decisions.

• Use when: Quick feedback on low-risk changes
• Vendors: 1
• Rounds: 1

Dual Vendor

Two independent perspectives evaluate your decision. Catches blind spots that a single viewpoint misses.

• Use when: Production deployments, moderate-risk changes
• Vendors: 2
• Rounds: 1

Full Panel

Three vendors provide maximum coverage. Consensus is determined by majority agreement.

• Use when: High-stakes architectural decisions, security-sensitive changes
• Vendors: 3
• Rounds: 1

Debate

Two-round deliberation where vendors first assess independently, then receive challenge briefs summarising disagreements before reassessing.

• Use when: Complex decisions where you want to stress-test assumptions
• Vendors: 2-3
• Rounds: 2

Consensus Methods

• Single — One vendor's recommendation (single strategy)
• Majority — Most common recommendation wins
• Unanimous — All vendors must agree, otherwise Review Required

Custom Profiles

Enterprise plans can create custom profiles with specific vendor combinations, risk models, and prompt templates.
