How it works

A debate is an operation, not just a livestream.

DEBATES.studio is the end-to-end system behind every event — from the first invitation to the locked archive entry.

  1. Step 01

    Invite & verify

    Equal invitations are extended to every qualifying candidate. Identity, eligibility, and contactability are verified before scheduling.

  2. Step 02

    Format & rules

    Producers pick a debate format (town hall, head-to-head, panel), build segments, and publish rules to candidates and the public ahead of time.

  3. Step 03

    Live with control

    Equal-time timers, moderated audience questions, incident logs, and a green-room readiness flow keep the floor fair in real time.

  4. Step 04

    Archive & account

    Replay, transcript, AI summary, audience scorecard, and a downloadable share kit are locked to the public record after publication.

Trust by design

Every debate operates under a public charter, transparent rules, disclosed sponsors, and an immutable archive. Audience scoring reflects public sentiment — never an official election result.
