Adds five comparison pages, each with its own structure. The sixth, DebateOwl vs PracticeDebate, is dropped (see below).

Page	Shape
/debateowl-vs-claude	The same prep night done twice: one Public Forum motion, six steps (set up, case, evidence, replies, timed practice, next morning), Claude chat vs DebateOwl side by side, ending in "When plain Claude is enough"
/debateowl-vs-publicforumai	PF-only vs every format: a format grid (PF, LD, Policy, BP, World Schools, Congress) with a depth tag per cell, a short "If Public Forum is all you debate" section and 3 FAQs
/debateowl-vs-gemini	Myth vs fact: five assumptions, each with a verdict and a two-sentence answer. Two come out in Gemini's favour (Hungarian, Gems)
/debateowl-vs-hyperwrite	One-shot writer vs practice loop: short intro, a two-column "What you walk away with" list, then prices side by side
/debateowl-vs-schoolai	For teachers: five needs (setup tomorrow, student accounts, seeing what students do, cost per student, formats), each with what both tools do and a plain pick, plus a student-data note

Every page names DebateOwl in its opening answer, links back to / and once to /best-ai-for-debate, carries the pricing sentence once in its call-to-action area, and has a sources list. DebateOwl claims were checked against the code: Sparring formats (packages/core/src/sparring/formats.ts), timer presets (src/lib/free-tools/formats.ts), Current Debate format options, voice rounds, scorecard, exports, and the 13+ age line in the privacy copy.

Registered in the generator: SIBLINGS and the page list in scripts/seo_comparison_pages.py, COMPARE_LINKS (llms.txt Compare section) and EXTRA_RELATED["best-ai-debate-tools"] in scripts/generate_seo_content.py, and PAGES in scripts/check_templating.py. The sitemap picks them up from dateModified (lastmod 2026-10-31). The new pages link to each other in a ring, so each has at least 3 inbound links.

One guard change: src/test/seo/guide-content.test.ts already allows the required byline and disclosure lines word for word, but only with the Oct 29 date. The new pages carry the same lines dated Oct 31, so the Oct 31 versions are added to that allow-list. No other rule changes.

Dropped: PracticeDebate

practicedebate.ai answers every request with a Vercel Security Checkpoint ("Failed to verify your browser", Code 21, HTTP 403). It did that for curl, headless Chromium and the Camofox stealth browser, all from the VPS (the residential proxy was not active for Camofox), and Adam's own Mac browser was offline, so we could not try from a home connection. www.practicedebate.ai has a certificate-name mismatch. The only text we got was a possibly cached homepage copy from Exa, which calls the product "DebatePro" in its body, so we couldn't confirm on the live site what it is or what it costs. Under the "verify on its own site or drop it" rule, the page is not in this PR.

Checks

• python3 scripts/generate_seo_content.py: regenerated, no generator refusals (jargon, pricing sentence, sibling cap, shared H2s)
• python3 scripts/check_templating.py: passes with all 17 pages
• npm run verify at this head: all 9 steps pass (docs, jargon, typecheck, guards, lint, edge, smoke, build, sw-offline)
• Build: sitemap lists all five with <lastmod>2026-10-31</lastmod>; check-site (links, JSON-LD, FAQ visibility, headings) and check-links pass
• JSON-LD on each page: Article, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage; self-canonical; titles end in "| DebateOwl"
• Vercel preview: see the comment below once the deploy finishes

Draft. Touches only generated pages, generator scripts and one guard allow-list, but it's a draft for Adam to review the copy.

Vercel preview (staging project, preview target): https://debatelab-staging-kb6ritmk8-adam-gaborjanis-projects.vercel.app

The preview sits behind Vercel team SSO, so a plain curl gets a 302 to the login. Fetched through vercel curl with the team login, each page returns 200 with its title:

• 200 /debateowl-vs-claude
• 200 /debateowl-vs-publicforumai
• 200 /debateowl-vs-gemini
• 200 /debateowl-vs-hyperwrite
• 200 /debateowl-vs-schoolai
