How to Use It

Logic trees make an argument's structure visible. Put the main claim at the top, supporting arguments on the second level (each mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive), and evidence on the third. Used in consulting decks to show reasoning is rigorous. Keep to 3 levels and 2-3 branches per node or it becomes unreadable. Color-code branches if different sources support each one. Works as a deck's table-of-contents when the deck makes a structured argument.
