Debate
Steelman both sides of a proposition and name the fact that would change the answer.
Jalaran Debate takes one proposition, makes the strongest case on both sides in a single pass, and names the crux: the fact or assumption that would actually change the answer.
Who Debate is for
For decisions where you suspect you have already made up your mind and want that tested. Also for anyone preparing to argue a position who needs to know the strongest version of the objection before someone else supplies it.
What Debate does
Debate steelmans rather than strawmans: both sides are argued at their strongest, which is the only version worth engaging with. Then it names the crux: the specific fact or assumption that, if it were different, would flip the conclusion. That is the genuinely useful output, because most disagreements are not about values but about one contested empirical claim nobody has isolated. It runs in a single pass and is deliberately not a dialogue.

How Debate works
State the proposition
One clear claim that could be true or false. Vague propositions produce vague analysis.
Read both steelmans
Each side at its strongest. The one you disagree with is the one worth reading carefully.
Find the crux
The fact or assumption that would tip the answer. Usually there is exactly one, and naming it changes the conversation.
Go and resolve the crux
Once you know what the disagreement turns on, you know what to go and find out.
What Debate does not do
Debate does not give an opinion and will not tell you which side is right: that is the design, not a shortcoming. It is not a dialogue simulator: there is no back-and-forth, and rehearsing a live conversation is Case or Salary. Argument quality depends on the model’s knowledge of the domain, so verify factual claims in either steelman before relying on them.
Common questions
- Will it tell me which side is right?
- No. It presents both at their strongest and names what the disagreement turns on. A tool that picked a side would just be an opinion with extra steps.
- What is a crux?
- The specific fact or assumption that would change the conclusion if it were different. Most disagreements turn on one contested claim, and isolating it is how a circular argument becomes a researchable question.
- Can I argue back and forth with it?
- No. It is a single-pass analysis instrument, not a dialogue. For conversational rehearsal, Case and Salary are the modules built for it.
