- In the sample, each argument layer uses two cards or fewer, keeping the structure visible at a glance.
Field notes
The sample moves from uniqueness through links and internal links to impact, then shows the opposing side’s answers for each contention. Cards pair short read-aloud tags with underlined warrants and citations; the page says the full article text remains intact and added words appear in brackets. Its example covers nuclear escalation in Europe, with cited claims attributed to named authors and publications.
