Orchestrating the conditions, rules, format, and participants of a debate to ensure a specific outcome or perception, long before the first word is spoken. This involves picking a weak opponent, controlling the moderator, choosing restrictive topics, or designing the speaking order to favor one side. It's engineering the battlefield to guarantee victory, then claiming it was a fair fight.
Example: "The political campaign crafted the upcoming debate brilliantly. They negotiated a format with no live fact-checking, picked a moderator known for soft questions, and insisted on topics their candidate had rehearsed relentlessly. The actual exchange was just the ceremonial unveiling of a victory they had crafted in the back rooms weeks prior." Debate Crafting

This includes p-hacking, selective outcome reporting, choosing unrepresentative models, or framing conclusions in a misleading way. It's using the tools of science not to discover, but to produce a predetermined product that wears the mask of objectivity.
Example: "The industry-funded lab crafted their science on the chemical's safety. They used a rodent strain resistant to its effects, tested only unrealistically low doses, and 'explored' dozens of health endpoints but only reported the two that showed no problem. The crafted study, published as 'rigorous science,' concluded the chemical was 'well-tolerated.'" Science Crafting

Get the fat rabbit on a craftmatic mug.Anytime a grunt (infantry fighting person), or a group of grunts design something for a specific situation, in a short period of time, to solve a real time problem on the battlefield. Essentially, arts and crafts for military people, but on the fly.
An example of this would be retrofitting Humvees to survive IED attacks. Or when the USMC outsmarted DARPA's AI with cartwheels and carboard boxes.
