Policy Debate Prep with AI
Build plans, DAs, counterplans, and kritik prep blocks for CX debate.
Published ยท Updated
What do you need to prepare for policy debate?
Policy debate asks whether a plan should be adopted, so preparation covers several components rather than a single case. You need a plan and its advantages, plus prep for disadvantages, counterplans, topicality and kritiks. Research the disadvantages you are likely to face and build blocks for common disadvantage scenarios. Test whether a counterplan actually competes with the plan. Kritiks challenge the assumptions behind the opponent's framework, so brainstorm kritik arguments and prepare theory blocks as well.
