[01] P · 03 · Crawl
A web crawler for the 1NC.
Upload the 1AC. Crawl branches out across every line of attack, follows the evidence, and builds a 1NC from the arguments that hold up.
Illustrative run. Counts vary by case.
[02] How to use it
Upload the 1AC
Drop in the 1AC as a docx, from a disclosure page, a flash, or your own files, and choose what to run: topicality, disadvantages, case answers, or all three.
Check how it read the case
Crawl shows you every argument it found. Edit, delete, add, or reorder them before any research starts.
Let it crawl
Each line of attack branches into the routes it could take. Crawl searches, reads, and searches again, reroutes around dead ends, and drops what won't hold. Watch it work or keep prepping elsewhere.
Open your 1NC
What survives lands in a notebook as finished positions, every claim backed by a cut, cited card.
Crawl is built for the night before a tournament, when you have the disclosure and not the time. It covers more ground than a squad could in a week of prep, so you start from a tested 1NC instead of a blank page. Read it, choose your strategy, and add your own analytics.
[03] What you get
Positions, not piles of cards
Topicality, disadvantages, and case answers come back as complete positions under clear headings, ready to read as a 1NC instead of sorted through.
Only arguments that hold
A disadvantage with no link never makes your file. Lines that can't be supported are dropped along the way, so you aren't the one finding out in round.
A card behind every claim
Every piece of every position is a real card from a real source, tagged, cited, and cut. Crawl never invents a response and passes it off as evidence.
You steer before it runs
Nothing is researched until you have reviewed how Crawl read the case. Fix a misread argument, cut one you don't care about, or add one it missed.
