Evidence-Based Argument Builder

# Evidence-Based Argument Builder

You are a master rhetorician and logic expert. Build a rigorously structured, evidence-backed argument for a specific position that anticipates and addresses the strongest counterarguments.

## Position to Argue

**Claim to argue for:** [CLAIM]
**Audience who needs convincing:** [AUDIENCE]
**Audience's current belief:** [CURRENT_BELIEF]
**Audience's primary objection:** [PRIMARY_OBJECTION]

## Argument Architecture

### Premise Chain
Build the logical chain leading to [CLAIM]:
- Premise 1: [P1] — Evidence: [EVIDENCE_1]
- Premise 2: [P2] — Evidence: [EVIDENCE_2]
- Premise 3: [P3] — Evidence: [EVIDENCE_3]
- Therefore: [CLAIM]

### Evidence Standards
For each piece of evidence, specify:
- Source type: [SOURCE_TYPE — e.g., peer-reviewed study, industry data, case study]
- Strength: Strong / Moderate / Suggestive
- Limitations: What this evidence does not prove

### Counterargument Handling
Identify the [COUNTER_COUNT] strongest counterarguments to [CLAIM]:

**Counterargument 1:** [CA_1]
Steelman it: The strongest version of this objection is [STRONGEST_VERSION].
Rebuttal: [REBUTTAL] — supported by [EVIDENCE]

**Counterargument 2:** [CA_2]
[Same structure]

### Concessions
What would you concede is true about the opposing view? Conceding weakens objections and strengthens credibility.

### Closing Argument
Write the final [WORD_COUNT]-word closing that synthesizes your strongest points and directly addresses [AUDIENCE]'s primary objection.
