Overview
Stochastic consensus introduces more moving parts than a direct prompt. It requires a prepared council skill, multiple agent calls, and a final review stage. This operating procedure treats the orchestration code as a prepared component rather than explaining how to build it from scratch.
The method also has two different forms of diversity: prompt diversity and model diversity. A council can use several roles while still running every role on the same underlying model. That distinction becomes critical when evaluating the default and cross-vendor modes.
