The Round, Captured

From the first speech to the final RFD - every argument tracked, every drop noted, every weighing call surfaced.

What's inside

From case prep to the final RFD - automated.

The full debate workflow, designed around how rounds are actually decided and how cases are actually written.

Flow-Aware Decisions

Weighing > Case > Defense. Decisions follow real judge logic - never delivery, presentation, or AI guesswork.

Live + Uploaded Audio

Record speeches directly in the browser, or upload audio/video files from past rounds for asynchronous judging.

Speech-to-Flow

Speeches transcribed by AssemblyAI's universal-2 model, then mapped onto a structured argument flow.

Evidence Verification

Optional fact-check pass that flags miscut, fabricated, or unverifiable evidence cited in the round.

Speaker Feedback

Per-speaker Matter, Manner, and Method scores with constructive notes - separate from the round result.

Round History

Every round you judge is saved and searchable by topic or team code. Review old transcripts and RFDs anytime.

Case Analysis (PDF + .docx)

Upload your case as a Word doc or PDF. The AI coach reads every contention end-to-end - no truncation, no skipped arguments.

Per-Argument Grading

Each contention gets its own grade, summary, strengths, and weaknesses with severity ratings - plus case-wide strategic feedback.

Specific Link Feedback

No "weak link to extinction" platitudes. The coach pinpoints the exact causal step that breaks and proposes a fix.

The Workflow

From setup to RFD in four steps.

You stay in control. The AI does the work that doesn't require judgment.

STEP 01

Set up the round

Motion, team codes, speakers, speaking times, and (optionally) your rubric.

STEP 02

Record the speeches

Record live in the browser with resume / restart controls, or upload audio & video files.

STEP 03

Trigger the decision

Review the transcripts. When you're ready, click to build the flow and render the RFD.

STEP 04

Read the verdict

Voting issue, full RFD, flow summary, weighing analysis, per-speaker feedback.

The Judging Paradigm

A decision tree, not a vibe check.

Most AI tools rate debaters on tone, "confidence," and delivery. This one doesn't. It only cares about what actually wins rounds across every format: who outweighed, whose case is still standing, and what was dropped on the flow.

1. Who wins WEIGHING?
   └─ Whoever better explains why their impacts are comparatively bigger

2. Is the weighing winner's case still standing?
   ├─ YES →  They win
   └─ NO  →  Look at the other team's case

3. Is the other team's case winning?
   ├─ YES →  They win
   └─ NO  →  Presume Negative (unless the Aff read presumption warrants)

── WASH ── Weighing tied → who is more strongly winning their case

Judge sharper. Coach smarter.
