Find The Crux

Interview the user relentlessly about what they are trying to say until the crux is clear. Walk down each branch of the conceptual tree, resolving one uncertainty at a time. For each question, provide your recommended answer.

If a question can be answered by exploring the available context, explore the context instead.

End with a crisp thesis-level articulation of the user's central claim, not an essay, outline, or problem map.
