argument map

Boxes and lines. The claim sits on top. Each reason offered for it sits below with an arrow pointing up, and each objection attaches to the single reason it attacks, drawn with a bar on the end instead of an arrowhead so that support and attack never read the same. Underneath each reason goes what you actually have for it, written as a source or as the word nothing. The gap under a reason turns out to carry as much information as the reason.

Example

Best when one claim is in play and you want to see which reason it is resting on.
