I’ve tried Rationale before (http://rationale.austhink.com/), but unfortunately it’s not free. It’s good at organising evidence and counter-evidence, teasing out premises, and trying to ground each one.
With larger arguments, it helps a lot in keeping track of all the parts—better than writing. Where it fell down was in comparing the relative weight of different pieces of evidence, or in general handling uncertainty.
