I recommend starting with the video introduction since there aren't really any sites quite like it: https://thicket.io/about#intro-video
Examples of Thicket in action:
https://thicket.io/List/11426361746953 - Public vs Private Currencies
https://thicket.io/List/11425711571394 - Immigration
https://thicket.io/List/11425711242115 - Universal Basic Income
There are, however, plenty of sites doing similar things:
https://sequiturs.com/
http://en.arguman.org/
http://www.truthmapping.com
http://debategraph.org
http://metacademy.com

...but nobody else combines published research with an argument builder.
