A Wrangl can be useful in lots of situations:

  • News

    When a news story breaks and you want to help your readers understand the issues involved, construct a Wrangl and embed it in your news story.

  • Crowd-sourcing

    Don't know the answer to a difficult question? Create a Wrangl and ask others to contribute arguments to help you answer it.

  • Essay-writing

    Work alone, or collaboratively in constructing a for/against essay on a particular issue. Share links to references and quickly sketch out a good essay structure covering the main arguments.

  • Decision-making

    If you or your team have to make a decision between two courses of action, document your thinking and share it with others via a private Wrangl. Anyone can contribute thoughts and opinions and once everyone has had their say you can work out which course to take.

  • Archive

    If you're making a decision and want to leave a permanent record of the arguments you considered, make a Wrangl. It's a permanent archive of the points that were considered in making your decision.

  • Public policy

    Help people understand the issues involved in decisions about local and national government policy. Save time and money communicating complex issues in long documents - create a simple graphical overview of the issue and publish it via the web.

  • Democracy

    Referendums, votes and other two-way decisions that require input from members of the public can be helped when voters have access to the facts. Construct a Wrangl from both points of view to help the public reach their own decision about which way to vote.
