about
Jace Arnold
I was a varsity public forum debater in high school. I wrote cases with evidence shrunk to size two font so I could spread my rebuttals and still have a paper trail when the cross-x came. The case I wrote was the first one I had to attack, because that's how you survive a round. I knew where the holes were because I'd put them there myself.
The thing I would have killed for at the time was a tool that could read my whole case at 1am the night before nationals and tell me, in one sentence, what the other team was about to tear me apart on. Not five things. The biggest one.
That tool finally got possible to build, so I built it.← me, then
What's happening in the professional world
AI is showing up everywhere people make arguments for a living. Investment analysts pre-mortem theses before pitching them up. Lawyers stress-test briefs before filing. Founders pressure-check decks before walking into the room. Research desks use LLMs to surface counterarguments their analysts missed. The move is the same one I learned in public forum debate: write your strongest case, then attack it before anyone else does. The tooling finally caught up.
How I use it
I'm an entrepreneur and engineer. Every serious thing I write, whether that's an investor memo, technical pitch, cold outreach, or one of the weekly newsletters I publish, goes through some version of is this actually right, or am I letting the part of me that wants it to be win.
Three critics in parallel, one synthesizer, one number, one sentence. I built this for me. If it works for me, it probably works for you.← me, now

Why
So I can call my own bullshit before anyone else does.
