Argument Stress Test
Attacks your argument the way an informed, hostile reader would, so you find the weak joint before publication rather than in the replies.

Running it, start to finish
- Paste the argument along with what your audience already believes.
- Fix the load-bearing premise with the thinnest support.
- Write the concession into the piece explicitly.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Surfaces the unstated premises your argument depends on, which is usually where it breaks.
- Ranks objections by how damaging they are rather than by how likely they are to be voiced.
- Finds the concession that costs little and buys credibility for everything else.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- State your non-negotiables. so section 6 does not suggest conceding your actual thesis. Without them the concession advice can be unusable.
- Look hardest at the high-weight, thin-support premise. It is almost always something that felt too obvious to argue for, which is exactly why nobody argued for it.
- Answer objections in the piece. not in your head. An objection you know the answer to and did not write down is one the reader still has.
