Weighing tells the judge what matters

Two teams can both win offense. Weighing explains which impact should be prioritized and why that comparison is fair.

Use more than magnitude

Magnitude matters, but so do probability, timeframe, reversibility, scope, and link strength. DebateLab helps you test which comparison is strongest.

Make weighing early

The best teams do not wait until the final speech to compare impacts. Build weighing into cases, rebuttals, and summaries.
