What you need it to prove
Ratepayers, not the companies, are paying for the new server farms
The article
Utilities in five states have asked regulators to approve rate increases tied directly to new server farm construction. Filings reviewed by this newsroom show residential customers absorbing 61 percent of the transmission cost in those cases, while the facilities themselves carry the rest. Two commissions have since ordered operators to pay their interconnection costs up front, a change that applies only to projects filed after January. Industry groups argue the buildout funds upgrades that would have fallen to ratepayers anyway, a claim the filings do not settle either way.

A card you can read off the screen
The highlighting is the part everyone gets wrong. Too much and you are reading the article; too little and the card proves nothing. This one was built from what 1,500 caselist cards actually look like.

Moratoriums keep electricity bills from climbing
Rivota et al. 26 [Rivota, energy economist, 3-4-2026, "Prices and the grid," Example Review, accessed 2026-09-22] //AB
For decades residential prices tracked inflation, but that relationship broke in 2025, when utilities began serving hyperscale load. Analysts attribute the gap to data center demand, growing faster than new generation. 43 million households already report difficulty paying, and a pause would stop the next wave of construction before prices lock in.

Take it to the round
Build the case. Check the answers. Know your speaking time before you stand up.
Why this one
Built on the rounds themselves, not on a search box.
Plenty of sites search a wiki for you. These only work because the whole caselist was read into cards, with the formatting and the round it came from kept.
Other tools hand you a link to a team's file.
The caselist is read, not linked
Every round file gets read into cards. Each one keeps the school, team, tournament and round it came from. That is how the site knows a card is read by fourteen teams, and which of them prep answers to it.
AI card cutters rewrite the article and call it evidence.
The AI never writes the evidence
The cutter hands back positions in the original text. The words stay the author's. Anything that isn't an exact match gets thrown out by the server, so a card cannot quietly turn into a paraphrase.
Prep tools help before the round, then go quiet.
It preps while the round is running
Finish a line on the flow and answers to it get written in the background. Ninety seconds into summary your weighing is already there: metaweighing, a brightline, and what survives their best answer.
Chatbots invent a study when they run out of evidence.
It cites cards that exist, or says it can't
Every answer points at a card that exists, from your database or the caselist. When nothing supports a claim it says so and names what to go cut.
Word counts tell you how long a document is.
It counts what you actually say
Highlighting is stored with the card. A case, a block or a whole file can be measured in spoken words and timed at your speed before you stand up.
Copying evidence out of a web app strips the formatting.
It lands in Word already cut
Underlining, highlighting, your font, your tag size and your initials all survive the paste. The card is stored as text plus formatting, not as a picture of someone else's file.
And the part that stays free: searching the open-source caselist and browsing what teams run is built on other schools' work, so it isn't going behind a paywall.
