How to read this

Every construct on the map is compared with every other by the meaning of its definitions, and the closest one is surfaced here. The nearest construct to warrant is argument.

Hold this as a prompt, not a verdict. Two constructs sitting close in meaning is a reason to read them side by side and decide for yourself whether they are one idea under two names. It is not proof that they are. Compare the meanings in the Collider.

Argumentation theory

The inference license linking data to a claim

In an argument, the general rule or principle that licenses the step from the grounds (the data offered) to the claim, explaining why those grounds count as support. Stephen Toulmin's 1958 The Uses of Argument introduced this role as one part of his layout of an argument, alongside grounds, claim, backing, and qualifier, and it became the standard label in later argumentation theory and rhetoric. The referent is a component of reasoning, the license for an inference, not a document authorizing arrest or a security giving the right to buy shares.[1]

Unit
One general rule licensing a move from grounds to claim
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Reconstructed by analysts who diagram an argument into grounds, warrant, backing, and claim

Finance

A security giving the right to buy shares

A security issued by a company that gives its holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the company's shares at a stated price before an expiry date. Paul Samuelson's 1965 Rational theory of warrant pricing gave one of the first formal analyses of how such a security should be valued, and Fischer Black and Myron Scholes's 1973 The pricing of options and corporate liabilities supplied the pricing framework now applied to warrants and related options. The referent is a tradable financial instrument, priced in a market, not a rule of inference or an order to search a home.[2][3]

Unit
One issued right to buy a fixed number of shares at a set price
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Priced by market quotation and by option-valuation models from the share price, strike, time, and volatility
