Both sides, steelmanned
Every debate, both sides, one map.

How to read one
A fair fight, drawn out.
- 01
Steelmanned, not strawmanned
Each side is argued the way its most thoughtful advocate would argue it, with conviction, in its own voice.
- 02
How strong is the point?
Five pips, scored the way the other side's sharpest critic would score it. A thicker branch is a stronger point.
- 03
The evidence, checked
Every point carries a concrete fact, and each fact is checked against real sources. You get the link and a verdict.
- 04
The reply
Open any point to read the strongest thing the other side says back to it.
- 05
The crux
Underneath most disagreements is one clash of values or one open question of fact. The map names it.
Open one, no waiting
