critique-argument

Reviews argumentative prose against the Toulmin model of argument, asking whether a reader can reconstruct why the conclusion follows: is there a single stated claim, is it attached to checkable grounds, is the principle licensing the move from grounds to claim explicit, is that principle itself supported, does the claim's asserted strength match its evidence, and does the argument name the conditions that would defeat it. The full criterion registry, with each criterion's operationalization, operational test, severity anchors, and lane, is references/TOULMIN.md.
