    The AI analyzes your arguments and delivery the way a trained debate coach would: specific, actionable, grounded in how judges actually evaluate rounds.

How we evaluate

Learn the way
judges think.

DebateBoost doesn't just say "do better." Built with real judges, it mirrors the exact criteria used when scoring rounds, so every practice session is real competitive preparation.

  • Argument Strength

    Is the claim clearly stated? Is the reasoning logical and evidence well-used?

  • Responsiveness & Rebuttal

    Does the student directly engage with and undermine their opponent's case?

  • Clarity & Delivery

    Is the speech clear, organized, and easy for the panel to follow and score?

  • Strategic Decision-Making

    Is the student making smart choices about what to argue, extend, and drop?
