For research papers, Fracture combines reasoning analysis with a source check so you can see both whether your argument holds and whether your evidence actually supports it. Paste in your draft and Fracture returns a report covering logical structure, claim-by-claim support, hidden assumptions, and a full source verification pass — flagging which citations carry weight and which need to be strengthened or replaced before submission.

​
Mode and Depth Recommendations

Choose your mode based on how your paper is structured:
  • Essay mode works best for analytical and academic prose — papers where your argument develops gradually through evidence, context, and interpretation rather than a single thesis you must defend head-on.
  • Argument mode is the better choice if your paper builds toward a strong central claim it must prove, such as a policy recommendation, a causal argument, or a thesis that explicitly contradicts existing literature.
  • Extreme depth gives you the most thorough read on longer pieces. It produces eight or more priority fixes, a full dependency graph showing how your claims connect, an expanded attack tree, and additional argument angles worth researching — worth using for a dissertation, capstone, or any submission where thoroughness matters more than speed.

What to Look for in the Source Verification Panel

After the audit runs, open the source verification panel and review:
  • Claims that need a source but do not name one — any unsupported factual assertion Fracture flags as ungrounded needs a citation before it can carry weight with a reader or reviewer.
  • Vague source references such as “studies show” or “experts say” — these placeholder references are a common target for peer reviewers and instructors; Fracture flags them so you can replace them with specific, traceable citations.
  • Citations that are real but do not actually prove the attached conclusion — Fracture checks whether the source you named supports the specific claim you attached it to, not just whether the citation exists; a mismatch here is a silent credibility problem.
  • Missing warrants between evidence and claims — a source can be real and relevant and still leave a logical gap if you never explain how the evidence connects to your conclusion; Fracture identifies those gaps so you can close them explicitly.

​
Citation Output

Fracture can produce a starter Works Cited or References list in MLA or APA format from the sources it confirms during the source verification pass. Use it as a starting point to organize your citations — it saves time and ensures you are not missing anything Fracture identified as confirmed.
Always open each source and confirm the exact passage before final submission. Fracture builds the citation list from public web results, and you are responsible for verifying that the passage you are citing says what you say it says in context.
Use Extreme depth for dissertations, long-form research, or any paper where you need more than a surface-level audit. The expanded attack tree and dependency graph at Extreme depth are especially valuable for identifying structural weaknesses before a defense or peer review.
