Advising
A mock committee: argue what you wrote
60-minute mock. We do not stand in for the author at the viva.
What it includes
A map of likely questions, a timed mock and precision about what the text actually claims.
- Talk structure
- Questions on method, limits and contribution
- Handling objections without inflating results
Who defends
You. The committee assesses your command of the work.

Rehearse the committee with your own material
Defence preparation is a rehearsal: questions, timing, board or slides, and answers you can sustain because you wrote the work. If you cannot explain a chapter, the mock shows it; it does not disguise it.
It fits master’s and doctoral work — and some undergraduate degrees — when a committee or pre-defence date exists. It does not promise the vote. Assessed work remains yours; see /integridad.
How the rehearsal works
Diagnostic: manual, field, banca format. Scope: number of rehearsals, slide review if any, a written round of likely questions if agreed. You present. We ask as a committee would.
The fee covers the agreed rehearsals. If the date moves, we reschedule within reason; it does not become a retainer until you pass.
Deliverables
A list of questions used, notes on gaps, and slide comments if agreed. There is no «TesisPro-approved script» to read to the tribunal.
Relation to the text
If the manuscript does not yet exist, mentoring or editing comes first. Slides follow the same manual as the text.
Market: banca, defesa, tribunal
The mock adapts to your faculty’s rite — Spanish tribunal, British viva, US committee defence. Anyone whose governing manual is ABNT uses tesispro.lat.
No pass guarantee
The tribunal decides. The fee is not tied to the grade or the degree.
Questions that actually come up
Design limits, data ethics, why that sample, what chapter 4 cannot claim, what you would do differently. We rehearse with your material. We do not attend on the day and we do not speak to the tribunal.
Scope, limits, and how the quote works
The mock reveals whether you can answer without reading. The scope sets the number of rehearsals.
What a mock does not replace
It does not replace your supervisor, advance the vote, or make an unexplained text defendable.
Defence questions
Can you come to the committee with me?
No. We are not part of the tribunal.
Do you build the slides from scratch?
Only if the scope says so and the content is yours.
What if they ask for changes the same day?
That is the committee, not our contract. A later scope is quoted separately.
