🧭 Argument Mapper

🧭 Argument Mapper

Structure an essay or debate case before you write it. Lay out your thesis, the premises supporting it and the strongest objections, then score how well each one actually holds up.

Nothing mapped yet. A thesis with at least two premises and one objection is usually the minimum worth writing.
How to use it

Rate each item 1\u20135 for how strongly the evidence backs it. Premises below 3 are assertions you still need sources for. An objection rated 4 or 5 that you have no answer to is the place your argument is weakest \u2014 address it head-on rather than hoping a reader misses it. The outline copy gives you a paragraph plan in the order you should write it.
