What this is
An agentic practice viva. You give it the draft you are going to defend, four agents divide the work of examining it between them, and you are questioned on the parts a committee would go after.
- It is adversarial on purpose
- Most writing tools are built to agree with you. This one is built to find the sentence your argument cannot support and to keep asking about it. That is uncomfortable, and it is the point: the discomfort is cheaper here than in the room.
- It examines, it does not ghostwrite
- It will not compose an answer for you, and it will not suggest wording you could repeat back. What it produces is questions, judgments, and a record. The defending is yours.
- A companion to CITRA
- CITRA is the research writing workspace where an argument gets built and every claim stays traceable to its source. Viva does the opposite job on the same manuscript: it looks for where that argument gives way, then presses there until the point holds or breaks.
