Before committee begins, use Fracture Studio to run your position paper through Argument mode and find every place another delegate or the chair will push back. Fracture maps your country’s stance, surfaces the weakest warrants in your policy argument, and helps you build rebuttals against competing bloc positions — so you walk into the room prepared to defend every clause.

​
Prepare a Position Paper

1

Run Your Position Paper in Argument Mode

Paste your full position paper into the Studio and set the mode to Argument. Fracture maps your country’s stance, the claims behind it, and the warrants connecting your proposed policy to the problem the committee is addressing.
2

Find the Weak Links

Review the collapse point and assumption audit to see where another delegate or the chair will push hardest. The collapse point is the single claim or causal link your entire position depends on — if a rival delegate defeats it, your position loses credibility fast.
3

Check Which Claims Need a Clearer Warrant or a Stronger Source

Read through Fracture’s claim-by-claim breakdown and flag any argument that relies on a vague source or an unsupported assertion. Strengthen those claims with cited evidence before the session begins.

Build Your Rebuttals Against Competing Bloc Positions

Open the rebuttal builder to anticipate objections from blocs with competing interests. Fracture drafts responses to the strongest counterarguments so you can refine them and deliver them confidently in committee.

​
What to Focus on

When you review the report, pay closest attention to these four areas:
  • Whether your proposed policy actually solves the problem you describe — Fracture checks whether your solution logically addresses the root cause you have identified, or whether there is a gap in the causal chain that another delegate can exploit.
  • Where your stance needs a clearer warrant or a stronger source — vague references like “many countries believe” or unsupported statistics are easy targets in cross-examination; replace them with specific, citable evidence.
  • The strongest competing solutions other delegates will propose — the attack tree shows you the most credible alternative approaches to the committee topic, so you can prepare a comparative argument for why your country’s position is superior.
  • Crossfire questions to raise during debate — use the attack tree’s crossfire questions offensively; they give you specific, pointed challenges you can bring against competing positions during formal debate or unmoderated caucus.
Run your draft resolution clauses through Fracture the same way you run your position paper. Each operative clause is a claim that needs a warrant — Fracture will tell you which clauses can survive a challenge and which need a stronger preambulatory foundation.
Fracture is especially useful when coaching access is limited. If you are preparing without a faculty advisor or experienced coach available, a Fracture audit gives you a serious first-pass review that is easy to understand and act on before conference day.
