Frequently asked questions about CalibRank

What is CalibRank?

CalibRank is an AI-powered debate platform where your arguments are scored on clarity, evidence, logic, and originality. The best reasoning wins — not the loudest voice.

How does AI scoring work?

After you submit an argument, our AI evaluates it across four dimensions: clarity, evidence, logic, and originality. Each receives a score, and your overall logic score (out of 100) is computed from these. You can hover over your score to see your Argument DNA breakdown.

What are the tiers (Guest, Member, Titan)?

Guests can vote and drop quick arguments. Members have accounts, track their stats, and earn Caliber Points. Titans are trusted community leaders who can approve debate requests, set expiry dates, and help moderate the platform.

What are Caliber Points?

Caliber Points are earned based on the quality of your arguments. Higher AI scores earn more points. Your total appears on your profile and the leaderboard.

What is the Tug-of-War?

The Tug-of-War shows which side is winning in real time. It combines AI argument scores (75% weight) with community votes (25% weight) to produce a fair, merit-based result.

How do challenges work?

If you spot a weak claim in someone's argument, you can challenge a specific sentence. If the challenge is upheld, the original author gets a time window to submit a rebuttal defending their claim.

What is the toxicity filter?

Every argument passes through an AI toxicity filter. Harassment and derogatory content is blocked. Profanity gets a clown-rewrite (sanitized with emojis). Misinformation is flagged as disputed. This keeps debates focused on ideas, not insults.

Can debates have more than 2 sides?

Yes! Debates can have 2, 3, or 4 sides. Multi-side debates let you explore nuanced topics where a simple for/against doesn't capture the full picture.

How do I request a new debate?

Go to the Requests page and submit your debate topic. Other users can upvote it. Titans review and approve the most popular requests.

What does the Diamond / Pebble / Bedrock badge mean?

These badges show how unique your argument is. Diamond means a rare, original insight. Pebble means several people made a similar point. Bedrock means it's a widely shared community consensus.

What is a Founding Calibrant?

Founding Calibrants are early Titan-tier supporters who helped shape CalibRank before public launch. It's a permanent honorary title.
