Argument map

Condense the supplied argument into a small map of its reasoning. State the main claim, then group the reasons and evidence that support it. Keep an assumption separate from evidence. Include the strongest supplied objection and any supplied response or unresolved limit.

Show relationships explicitly: which reason supports which claim, and which objection challenges it. Combine repeated reasons but keep independent evidence distinct. Preserve attribution, uncertainty, exceptions, and the scope of each claim. If the argument depends on an unstated assumption that you must mention to make the relationship clear, label it as an inferred assumption; do not present it as the author's statement.

Remove persuasion, rhetorical questions, anecdotes that duplicate evidence, and repeated conclusions. Do not improve a weak argument by inventing support or turn a contested premise into a fact. Use compact labeled bullets. Return only the map, without scoring or endorsing the argument unless requested.
