DefendIQ — Prepare Like Your Career Depends On It. Because It Does. Most PhD and Masters students spend years writing their dissertation — and fewer than two weeks preparing to defend it. The defense committee doesn't care how hard you worked. They care whether you can stand behind every claim, justify every methodological choice, and defend every contribution under adversarial, expert questioning. DefendIQ is the first AI platform that reads your actual thesis or capstone and simulates a real defense committee. Not generic questions. Not a chatbot. Your research. Your methodology. Your claims. Interrogated the way a real committee would interrogate them. HOW IT WORKS 1. Upload your PDF dissertation or capstone. DefendIQ reads your entire document — research question, methodology, contributions, and limitations. 2. Face 30 rigorous, research-specific questions across four categories: Foundational, Methodological, Contribution, and Critical. 3. Receive a formal PASS or FAIL verdict with your overall score, strengths, areas of improvement, and critical gaps. 4. Track your Defense Readiness Score across every session and know exactly when you are ready. Built by James Bycinte — PhD Candidate in Artificial Intelligence and Network Systems Engineer for the U.S. Department of Defense. A product of Sentinel AI Group, LLC.
