About Us

We’re Julian and Paul — two brothers driven by a shared fascination with how people think, communicate, and make decisions together. We believe that most people truly want to do good — but too often, our conversations get lost in noise, confusion, and division.

That’s why we started DebateScore: to design a framework that fits the human mind — one that makes debates clearer, more transparent, and easier to follow. Our goal is simple but ambitious: to help people truly understand each other’s perspectives, find common ground, and make better decisions together.

Why We Started DebateScore

Growing up in the ’90s and early 2000s, we felt a sense of optimism — a belief that the world was moving toward unity, understanding, and progress. But in recent years, we’ve seen how easily that hope can be overshadowed by polarization and misunderstanding.

We created DebateScore because we believe that clarity is the foundation of trust. When we can see how arguments are built — what’s fact, what’s value, and how strong each claim really is — we can move past confusion and focus on what truly matters. Our mission is to give everyone the tools to cut through the noise, avoid endless rabbit holes, and come together to find real solutions.
