Kialo is an online structured debate platform with argument maps in the form of debate trees. It is a collaborative reasoning tool for thoughtful discussion, understanding different points of view, and collaborative decision-making, showing arguments for and against claims underneath user-submitted theses or questions.[2][3][4][5]
The deliberative discourse platform is designed to present hundreds of supporting or opposing arguments in a dynamic argument tree[8] and is streamlined for rational civil debate on topics such as philosophical questions, policy deliberations, entertainment, ethics, science questions, and unsolved problems or subjects of disagreement in general.[3][2][9][10]
Argument-boxes are structured into hierarchical branches where the root is the main thesis (or theses) of the debate, enabling deliberation and navigable debates between opposing perspectives. A debate is divided into Pro (supporting) and Con (refuting or devaluing) columns where registered users can add arguments and rate the impact on the weight or validity of the parent claim. The arguments are sorted according to the rating average.[15]
Its argument tree structure enables detailed scrutiny of claims at all levels of the tree[16] and allows users to for example quickly understand why a decision was made or which of the aggregated arguments swayed it this way.[3] Newcomers can join a debate at any time and look back at the structured discussion history, and then weigh in at the right place with their new argument or their comment on a specific argument.[2][11][17] The design presets a structure on debates "that allows participants to easily see, process, and ultimately assess the many facets of competing claims".[16]
The word Kialo is Esperanto for "reason".[3][2] The platform is the world's largest argument mapping and structured debate site.[18][19]
