Extract the Core Argument From a Research Paper

A paper landed on your desk and you need its point, not its every footnote. This states the central claim in one line, then sets out the contribution and how the argument is built, so you know what the paper adds before you decide whether to read deeper. Paste the abstract and introduction in and you get the gist fast.
