Tactics
- Use claim-how-example-result as a drafting scaffold.
- Choose ordinary specific scenarios over invented statistics.
- Give each paragraph a one-word reason label.
- Use transitions that name cause, contrast, or consequence.
Pitfalls
- Calling an example self-explanatory.
- Combining two weak reasons in one paragraph.
- Ending after the example without linking back to the purpose.
Build the reasoning chain
Actions
