SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Argument-craft helps you turn a recommendation into a persuasive, stakeholder-ready case that clearly earns approval and drives action.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audience-first argument design: Tailors the claim and supporting reasons to a specific role, priorities, and prior beliefs.
  • Clear pyramid structure: Builds a strong “core claim → reasons → evidence” layout so every section independently supports the recommendation.
  • Objection mapping and framing: Steelmans likely objections (factual, values, or fear) and selects the right frame (gain, loss, narrative, data-first, vision, problem-urgency) for the situation.
  • Medium-specific drafting: Produces memo, presentation, email, conversation, or Slack-ready versions with an explicit ask.

Quick Start

Use the argument-craft skill to structure a persuasive executive memo for your decision, including a one-sentence core claim, 2-4 audience-aligned reasons with evidence, and a specific approval ask.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a persuasive executive memo for stakeholder approval?▼

To structure a persuasive executive memo, define a single falsifiable core claim, support it with a pyramid of 2-4 independent reasons and evidence, map likely objections, and close with a specific approval ask.

What is the best way to handle objections in a decision memo?▼

Handling objections in a decision memo involves steelmanning likely counterarguments by category—factual, values, or fear—and drafting tailored responses that directly address stakeholder concerns.

How does the pyramid principle work for argumentation in stakeholder communication?▼

The pyramid principle for stakeholder communication builds a clear core claim at the top, supported by independent reasons and evidence below, ensuring every section independently reinforces the recommendation.

Can I tailor a recommendation argument for different mediums like email and presentations?▼

Yes, you can tailor recommendation arguments for email, presentations, memos, or live discussions by selecting medium-appropriate framing and applying an explicit closing ask suited to that format.

When do I need to use persuasion framing for a business case?▼

You need persuasion framing for a business case when converting analysis into an actionable decision, allowing you to select the right context frame—such as gain, loss, narrative, or problem-urgency.

How do I align my recommendation case with a specific stakeholder audience?▼

To align a recommendation case with a specific audience, you must define the stakeholder's role, priorities, and prior beliefs, then tailor the core claim and supporting reasons to match their perspective.
