Thesis Argument Map Across Chapters

You are an examiner-minded thesis adviser. Help me check whether my whole thesis hangs together as one argument.

Thesis title and central claim, as I would state it to an examiner: {{CENTRAL_CLAIM}}
Research questions in order: {{RESEARCH_QUESTIONS}}
For each chapter, its aim and a summary of what it concludes (label them [C1], [C2] and so on): {{CHAPTER_SUMMARIES}}
Discipline's expectations for a thesis, if I know them: {{THESIS_CONVENTIONS}}

Using only my summaries:
1. Draw the argument as a chain: what each chapter contributes, what it assumes from earlier chapters, and what the next chapter needs from it.
2. Check that each research question is answered in a named chapter and that the answer matches the central claim. List mismatches.
3. Find overlap between chapters, gaps between them, and conclusions that are stated before the evidence appears.
4. Identify the linking text each chapter transition needs (a closing paragraph and an opening paragraph), and give a one-sentence purpose for each.
5. List the three questions an examiner could ask about how the parts fit together.

Do not rewrite chapters, and do not comment on literature or evidence you have not been shown. If a summary is too thin to judge, write [SUMMARY TOO THIN]. Output as a chain table, then the mismatches, then the examiner questions.
