I've been sketching a device that could track argument flow like a game board, so the court could see the progression in real time. Think of it as a mechanical scorecard for rhetoric.

Sounds like you’re turning the courtroom into a chess match with a scorecard for each move—exactly the kind of precision that keeps everyone on their toes. Just remember to calibrate the penalties for blunders; otherwise, the players might start treating it as a game of chance.

Sure thing. I’ll set the penalty thresholds so a single misstep costs a clear point. No room for lucky guesses.

Just make sure the judge gets a copy of the rulebook—otherwise you’ll end up with a courtroom full of “I thought that was a good point” complaints.

Sure, the judge will get the rule sheet—no excuses later about unclear points. I'll print it on steel so it can't be torn.
