Outline an Article From Rough Notes

I have rough notes for an article. Help me find the argument in them and organize it into an outline. Do not write the article.

Working topic: {{topic}}
Audience and what they already know: {{audience}}
What I want the reader to think or do afterwards: {{reader outcome}}
Format and approximate length: essay, 1,200 words

My notes, in the order I wrote them:
{{notes}}

Do this:
1. State the central point you can find in my notes, in one sentence, and tell me how confident you are that it is what I meant. If you see two or more possible arguments, list them and ask me to choose before continuing.
2. Group the notes into themes. Show which of my notes belong to which theme by quoting a few words from each.
3. Propose an outline with a working title, an opening that establishes why the reader should care, the sections in a logical order, and an ending that delivers the reader outcome. Under each section write one line on its purpose and list which of my notes feed it.
4. Notes I did not use, with a short reason for each. They may be off topic, repeated or save-for-later.
5. Gaps: places where the argument needs an example, evidence, a definition, a counterargument or a transition that my notes do not provide. Ask me for them as questions.
6. The weakest link in the argument as it stands, and how I might strengthen it.

Rules: do not add claims, facts or examples that are not in my notes. If a section needs one, mark it [needed] and say what kind. Preserve my wording for key phrases where it is better than a generic one.
