0 · UPLOAD THE SOURCE FEED
This is where the live source feed is fed in. Everything added here appears in the incoming feed on the live screen, and only becomes debatable once marked verified below.
Three ways to fill this feed: manual entry here, an automatic pull from official newsroom/government links, and reader-submitted links from the live screen — all three land in the same queue and must pass the gate below.
1 · SOURCE GATE
Rule: at least 2 verified sources and 1 primary source before a debate may start.

Andhra Pradesh literacy stands at 66.4%, the lowest among major states.

2 · DEBATE SETTINGS
Turn pace
Slower pace generates turns only when a new verified source lands — the cheapest always-on mode.
- • Every AI turn must cite a verified source id or it is discarded before airing.
- • Each turn is generated in English and translated into all 11 languages.
- • If the gate closes mid-debate, the stream switches to a “what we know” segment.
- • Open unknowns are logged automatically when neither side can answer.

7 · AI REPORT
When a debate closes, the report is generated from the aired turns only — positives, negatives, unanswered questions and a verdict, each traceable to a verified source.
Positives: 2
Negatives: 3
Open questions: 2
Both sides agree access improved and completion did not. No verified source supports the circulating 80% figure.
