Judging Philosophy

CX

Rounds judged: 5+
Judging approach: Policy Maker
Policy priority: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Evidence philosophy: Quality of evidence is more important than quantity of evidence
Paradigm: I'm open to progressive arguments but value impact calculous as well as real world implementation within policy. I judge mainly on whoever makes a clear roll of the ballot, I tend to buy framing arguments.
