Build a stronger argument in three moves

Make a claim, show the evidence and explain the connection.

State one clear claim

Choose a statement someone could reasonably question. Avoid packing several conclusions into one sentence. “We should test this process with one team for two weeks” is easier to discuss than a broad claim that the whole organization needs to change immediately.

Show what supports it

Use relevant observations, reliable sources or a clearly marked example. Explain how each piece of evidence supports your claim. An anecdote can illustrate a problem without proving how common it is. Name the missing information instead of filling the gap with certainty.

Answer the strongest objection

Write the most reasonable case against your position. Respond to that version, not an exaggerated substitute. You may need to narrow the claim, gather better evidence or change your mind. That is useful progress: the aim is a decision that stands up to scrutiny.
