Map the argument
See the shape of an essay: what it claims, the reasons it gives, the evidence behind each, and the objections — drawn as a canvas, with the weak reasons in red.
Type / → Map the argument where you want the map. It is an ordinary canvas block, so every card can be moved afterwards.
| Becomes | From |
|---|---|
| The claim (purple) | A Claim: or Thesis: line, else the # title, else the first sentence |
| Reasons | Each ## section, or sentences starting Because, First, Moreover, Also… |
| Evidence (cyan) | Sentences with a link, a citation, a figure, a quotation, or “a study found…” |
| Objections (orange) | However…, Critics argue…, and sections called Objections, Risks or Limitations |
A reason with no evidence under it is drawn in red, with No evidence yet on the card — that is the part a reader will push on first. Explicit Reason:, Evidence:, Objection: and Rebuttal: labels always win.
