Four formats for four kinds of intellectual work.
Each format is designed for a different intellectual job: debate, claim testing, serious presentation, or synthesis. Together, they prevent Clerisi from becoming another open-ended event platform.
Idea Arena
Use when credible positions disagree and the audience needs to understand the strongest case, weakness, and trade-off on each side.
OpenIdea Court
Use when a specific public-interest claim needs evidence-informed challenge and a transparent account of what remains supported, contested, or unresolved.
OpenBreakthrough Stage
Use when a developed proposal, model, venture, or research thesis needs disciplined critique before further action or scale.
OpenIdea Lab
Use when a complex decision problem needs facilitated synthesis, practical framing, and clearly documented next steps.
OpenChoose the format by what must become clearer.
Competing positions?
Use Idea Arena.
A consequential claim?
