The short version
Debatable is a ranked live arena for spoken argument, open to anyone who wants to watch or argue something out. Every public round is a casual 1v1 with one motion, one person on each side, and a shared clock. The judge returns a decision, scores both sides out of 100, explains the reason, and feeds ranked results into the public board. Optional AI opponents let someone run the same kind of round when another person is not available.
What makes it different
A ballot, not a vibe
The judge returns a winner, speaker points, the central clash, and a written reason for decision. Split panels remain unresolved instead of receiving a house tie-break.
One clear round
One person argues Pro, one person argues Con, both speak on the same clock, and the judge explains what decided it.
Published judge promises
The public judge integrity charter documents the rubric, model configuration, appeal rules, and the boundary between the operator and a result.
Reporting paths
Can a judge be accountable?
The judge charter, immutable audit records, panel reliability, and human-only appeals turn an abstract AI ethics question into a system readers can inspect.
What replaces comment-thread arguments?
Debatable tests a social format where the motion, sides, clock, and verdict are shared before anyone speaks.
What changes when argument has an ending?
A shared motion, clock, and written decision give a live disagreement a clear point of closure.
Argument data that records clash
The research corpus captures turn-by-turn arguments and judge outcomes from opt-in rounds, with raw voice audio excluded.
