Frequently asked
questions.

Clerisi is a public decision-intelligence platform. It uses four structured live formats to examine consequential propositions, claims, proposals, and decision problems, then preserves the replay and selected editorial or resource outputs that are actually published.

It is not a networking-first conference, an open-microphone community, or a performance stage. Its purpose is to improve the conditions under which important ideas are challenged, understood, and carried into later decisions.

Clerisi serves contributors whose work benefits from scrutiny, audiences who want substantive participation, and institutions that need a credible way to convene public examination around policy, research, business, and societal questions.

Clerisi sessions are structured examination environments, not generic presentation stages. Each event has a clear question, selected format, participant roles, moderation sequence, audience role, access conditions, and publication plan. The goal is to make the idea and the decision around it clearer.

Clerisi is not organised around networking, exhibitors, unstructured panels, or applause. The core value is the quality of the examination and the usefulness of the resulting record.

Idea Arena is a structured debate for propositions with credible competing positions. It may use moderated challenge, audience questions, and voting where enabled. It is best for contested policy, ethical, strategic, or empirical questions.

Idea Court examines a specific consequential claim through evidence-informed challenge, counterargument, and a closing assessment of what appears supported, contested, limited, or unresolved.

Breakthrough Stage is a structured presentation and challenge session for a developed idea, venture, research thesis, policy proposal, or institutional model. It is not a pitch competition and does not guarantee a published critique report.

Idea Lab is a facilitated working session for complex questions that require synthesis, options, trade-offs, and practical next steps. A brief or other output may be published where commissioned and reviewed.

Session length depends on the topic, format, participant number, and audience role. The scheduled duration is published on each event page.

Idea Court closes with a moderated assessment of what became clearer and what remains unresolved. Where Clerisi publishes a formal evidence assessment, the page should identify who reviewed the material, the limits of the review, and the basis for any status label. A live session is not a court of law or a substitute for formal professional review.

Yes. All Clerisi sessions require registration, even free-access sessions. Registration gives you access to the session interface and to Q&A or audience voting where those features are enabled. Some sessions may require a paid ticket, membership, approval, invitation, or institutional entitlement.

Where audience questions are enabled, registered attendees can submit them through the live participation interface. Moderators select questions that best serve the event purpose, and Clerisi cannot guarantee that every submitted question will be used.

Recording and replay availability are stated on the event page. Some sessions may not be recorded or may have restricted replay access. Transcripts are published only where they have been prepared and approved; Clerisi does not promise a fixed publication time for every session.

Membership or paid-access benefits are defined by the current plan and the access conditions shown on the pricing, event, archive, and resource pages. Only benefits displayed in the live access flow should be treated as current entitlements.

Cancellation availability and timing are shown in the live account billing area for the current plan. Access, renewal, refund, and tax terms are governed by the active subscription and checkout terms, not by a static FAQ promise.

Every event has a publication position, but not every event produces the same outputs. A session may result in a replay and selected transcript, clip, analysis, brief, resource, claim note, or archive entry. Only outputs that have actually been prepared, reviewed, and published should be promised to users.

Where configured, Clerisi may use AI to assist editorial preparation such as transcription cleanup, summarisation, topic extraction, or metadata drafting. Human editors remain responsible for what is published. AI does not determine truth, decide outcomes, or replace accountable editorial judgment.

Published Clerisi pages may be cited using the page title, contributor, event date, format, and URL. Users should check whether a transcript is complete, whether an assessment is editorial or participant-led, and whether the page has been corrected or updated before relying on it.

Clerisi operates under published editorial standards. Claims should be specific enough to examine, evidence should be traceable, relevant conflicts should be disclosed, moderators should protect the format, and any published assessment should explain its basis and limits. AI assistance must be disclosed and human-reviewed. Material corrections should remain visible.

Yes. Clerisi accepts submissions from anyone via the Submit an Idea form. Submissions are reviewed against editorial criteria: specificity, testability, available evidence, and public significance. Not all submissions will be accepted. Clerisi may contact submitters to refine or reframe an idea before accepting it for scheduling.

Clerisi reviews submissions according to editorial capacity, relevance, testability, participant availability, and programme priorities. Response timing may vary, and the submission page should state any current review window.

Clerisi accepts institutional enquiries from universities, research institutions, think tanks, NGOs, companies, foundations, media organisations, and public bodies. Available arrangements may include curated access, approved resource delivery, or collaborative programmes. Specific capabilities and pricing are confirmed through the institutional enquiry process.
