What's inside classroom mode
📚
Saved Argument Libraries
Build a curated library of steelman pairs for your course, editorial team, or debate program. Organize by topic, semester, or issue area. Shareable with a link.
🗣️
Moderated Group Discussion
Students or team members submit their strongest steelman before seeing others'. Structured anonymous-first reveal prevents social anchoring. Facilitator controls the reveal.
📝
Assignment Framing
Package any steelman pair as a structured assignment: prompt, rubric, peer-review flow, and submission export. Designed for civics teachers, debate coaches, and editorial boards.
📊
Cohort Analytics
See which arguments your group found strongest, where crux identification diverged, and which topics produced the most genuine opinion movement.
🔖
Newsroom Mode
Editorial teams can use steelman cards as a pre-publication checklist: has the strongest opposing view been fairly represented in this story? Integrates with your editorial workflow.
