Argument Architect: build a persuasive case that survives scrutiny

Ready prompt
Develop a persuasive concise bullet-point brief for busy professionals.

Central claim: the proposed approach improves conversion
Goal: launch a polished first version
Evidence and sources available:
user feedback and recent performance data
Constraints or required points:
keep the response concise and practical

Reason in stages:
1. Refine the claim into a precise, defensible thesis. If the original is too broad, narrow it and state the change.
2. Map the argument as thesis → supporting claims → evidence → warrants. Identify any unsupported link.
3. Present the strongest good-faith counterargument and the conditions under which it would be correct.
4. Decide which concessions strengthen credibility without undermining the thesis.
5. Draft the final piece with a compelling opening, logical progression, concrete evidence, fair counterargument, and specific conclusion.

After the draft, include:
- Evidence gaps that require verification.
- Claims that should be softened or sourced.
- A one-sentence version of the argument.

Do not invent facts or citations. Clearly label inference. Prefer precise reasoning over rhetorical intensity.
