Question 1

How does the thesis generator work?

Accepted Answer

Enter your topic, your stance (for, against, or neutral), and pick an essay type (argumentative, analytical, expository, or compare-contrast). The engine extracts topic keywords, runs them through 5+ thesis templates per essay type, scores each variation on a rubric (clarity, specificity, arguability, scope), and returns the ranked set with supporting-point scaffolds and a counter-argument prompt for each.

Question 2

How are theses scored?

Accepted Answer

Each thesis is graded on a transparent 0–100 rubric with four sub-scores: clarity (sentence structure, length, hedge words), specificity (named actors, concrete nouns, measurable qualifiers), arguability (presence of debatable verbs like 'should/ought/must' vs. factual statements), and scope (single claim, not too narrow or too broad). The composite score is the weighted average. Each thesis card shows the four sub-scores plus a one-line improvement tip.

Question 3

What are supporting-point scaffolds and counter-argument prompts?

Accepted Answer

Every thesis comes with 3 supporting-point scaffolds — concrete claim templates you fill in with evidence ('[EVIDENCE: study] supports the claim because [REASONING]'). Each thesis also includes a counter-argument prompt that names the strongest likely objection, so you can address it in your essay. Scaffolds are structural; you must supply real evidence and citations.

Question 5

Is my data sent anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. All topic parsing, keyword extraction, thesis templating, rubric scoring, and scaffold generation run locally in your browser. Your topic never leaves this device. The only network call is if you paste your own LLM API key and click 'Enhance with LLM' — that request goes directly from your browser to the LLM provider you choose. Always follow your institution's academic-integrity rules; theses are drafts to refine, not final work.
