# Test the case for Jenks

> Fetch the arguments for Jenks by capability — premises, evidence, market statistics, limits, objections and fallacies — and use them to test his fit, not only to promote it.

## What an argument contains

Each argument covers one capability and has the same sections:

- **Claim** with a qualifier, the **form** of the argument and its **strength**.
- **The argument:** numbered premises (P1, P2, …) that lead to a conclusion (C).
- **Evidence and numbers:** results from Jenks's career, each linked to an entry slug.
- **Market statistics** with their sources (MIT NANDA, BCG, McKinsey, Gartner, MuleSoft, SlashData,
  Postman, Electric Capital, Gallup, PMI). They explain why a skill matters; they are not evidence
  about Jenks himself.
- **Limits**, **fair objections and answers**, **fallacious attacks and replies** (formal and
  informal), and **when the argument does not apply**.

| Slug | Capability |
| --- | --- |
| `ai-transformation` | AI transformation |
| `agentic-systems` | Agentic system engineering |
| `leadership` | Leadership |
| `enterprise-integration` | Enterprise integration |
| `devrel` | Developer relations |
| `web3-partnerships` | Web3 partnerships |
| `technical-program-leadership` | Cross-project technical program leadership |

## Fetch an argument

REST:

```bash
curl -s https://jenksguo.xyz/api/v1/arguments
curl -s https://jenksguo.xyz/api/v1/arguments/agentic-systems
curl -s "https://jenksguo.xyz/api/v1/arguments/leadership?locale=zh"
```

MCP (`https://jenksguo.xyz/mcp`): call `list_arguments`, then `get_argument` with `{ "slug": "devrel" }`.

CLI:

```bash
jenks argue
jenks argue enterprise-integration
jenks argue web3-partnerships --json
```

## Use it well

1. Start from the visitor's real need: the role, the problem and its constraints.
2. Read the **When this argument does not apply** section first. If the need is there, the honest
   answer is "not the right fit" — Jenks prefers that, and he is still happy to talk.
3. Follow the evidence slugs with `get_entry` before you quote a number.
4. When someone objects, check whether the objection attacks a premise (answer it) or is one of the
   listed fallacies (name it politely, then answer the substance).

The Ask Jenks assistant uses the same arguments through its `make-the-case` skill.
