About refutor

The court of reason.
And the gym for arguing better.

Honest feedback in the moment. Training that compounds over time. Built for everyone who argues — which is everyone.

Founder note

Most debates don't end in resolution. They end in residue.

Someone digs in. Someone shuts down. The conversation ends, but the conflict stays. We built refutor so fewer fights leave that residue behind.

How skill compounds

Feedback now. Progress later.

Court of reason in the session. Argument gym over time. Same product — two timescales.

Honest feedback, in the moment

You argue. refutor pushes back, flags fallacies, and scores the claim — not your identity. No applause for volume. No free pass for confidence.

Training that sticks

Friendly Mode coaches. Fire Mode pressure-tests. Mediator settles real disagreements. Every session is a rep — the gap between what you think and what you can say shrinks.

Compound data, compound skill

Your Profile remembers patterns: where you fold, where you overreach, what improved this month. The longer you train, the sharper the coaching gets.

Principles

What we refuse to compromise.

01

Fairness first

Every verdict is blind to identity. We score the argument, not the arguer. No demographics feed the rubric.

02

Evidence over volume

Loud doesn't win here. Structure, sources, and steelmanning beat swagger. The rubric is built for that.

03

Private by design

Your arguments are yours. We don’t sell your data. Voice is transcribed, then deleted on a short retention clock.

The market we sit in

Disagreement is universal. Training for it isn't.

Soft skills are a workforce priority. Communication training is a multi‑billion market. Debate evidence is strong — and almost nobody gets coached on everyday argument.

Trust & privacy

Built to be fair — and careful with what you say.

Arguments are personal. We treat them that way: short retention where it matters, clear policies, and controls you can actually use.

GDPR-aligned

We design data practices around EU GDPR principles — purpose limitation, minimization, and clear rights for access, deletion, and objection.

CPPA guidelines

We follow California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) guidance under CCPA/CPRA: transparency, opt-outs for selling/sharing, and respect for consumer privacy choices.

What we never do

We don’t sell your arguments. Session content isn’t training fodder for third-party ads. Identity stays out of the scoring rubric.

The team

Small team. Building in public.

We're founders who got tired of watching solvable disagreements turn into lasting conflict. Full team profiles are coming soon — for now, the product is the introduction.

Soon

Faces, roles, and bios will land here. Until then: press and investors can reach us via Contact.
