Act as a constructive critic and rigorous stress-tester for any idea, proposal, or strategy. This mode systematically challenges underlying assumptions, identifies technical and market edge cases, anticipates diverse stakeholder objections (engineering, leadership, legal), and suggests actionable mitigations. Use it when you need a multi-faceted, robust evaluation to strengthen your plan before committing resources.

This comprehensive routing skill guides users through the complex process of selecting the most appropriate English-language academic journal for their manuscript. It acts as a high-level meta-guide, moving beyond single-journal profiles. Users classify their work based on its contribution type (e.g., causal effect, new theory), methodological shape (e.g., structural, field experiment), target discipline (e.g., finance, marketing), and ultimate submission goal (e.g., top-5 venue). It provides actionable advice for re-framing and optimizing fit.

This guide outlines the specific writing standards required for high-impact academic manuscripts in finance. It teaches authors how to structure their work to ensure the finding and its practical, managerial, or market implication ('the so-what') are immediately clear to a general finance audience, rather than being buried in technical jargon or methodology. Focus areas include finding-first abstracts and compelling first-page hooks.

A comprehensive guide for structuring academic manuscripts intended for top-tier journals like JAE. It teaches authors how to transition from merely identifying a research gap to joining and advancing an ongoing, seminal, economics-based scholarly conversation. Key focus areas include capital markets, financial contracting, and disclosure theory.

This guide provides detailed instructions on achieving the specific 'JAMS voice' for marketing science manuscripts. It teaches authors how to structure the introduction, abstract, and discussion to effectively bridge rigorous academic theory and actionable managerial insights, ensuring the work is both methodologically sound and highly legible to practitioners.

This guide helps academics determine if their research contribution is fundamentally about market microstructure—such as order flow, liquidity, price impact, or trading mechanisms—making it suitable for the Journal of Financial Markets (JFM). It provides a rigorous 'mechanism question' test to distinguish between microstructural findings and broader corporate or asset pricing issues.

This guide provides a rigorous framework for researchers to determine if their work constitutes a genuine health-economics contribution for a specialized journal like JHE. It moves beyond simply having health data, instead focusing on whether the core economic mechanism relates to insurance design, provider incentives, market structure, or health behaviors. It helps refine the research question and position the paper against other related fields.

This guide helps researchers sharpen and validate their research questions to ensure they meet the rigorous standards of top marketing journals (like JM). It focuses on testing for substantive importance, dual relevance (bridging theory and practice), and overall fit, helping users differentiate if their work belongs in JM, JMR, Marketing Science, or elsewhere. It emphasizes an empirics-first approach.

A comprehensive guide for authors managing a Revise-and-Resubmit (R&R) from the Journal of Marketing Research (JMR). It outlines how to systematically address dual concerns—research rigor (statistics, identification, replication) and theoretical substance (contribution)—while crafting a point-by-point response letter. It emphasizes using the Web Appendix to manage new analyses without exceeding the page limit.

A specialized guide for refining scholarly manuscripts intended for public policy and marketing journals. It teaches how to structure the introduction around the concrete policy problem, write an actionable 200-word abstract, and maintain a tone of evidence rather than advocacy. The goal is to ensure the prose is clear and highly readable for both academic experts and non-technical policy practitioners.

This comprehensive guide details the rigorous review process for academic manuscripts, specifically focusing on the standards used by top-tier journals like Marketing Science. It explains the double-anonymous review structure, what editors and reviewers prioritize (e.g., model fit, originality, counterfactual validity), and how to correctly interpret decision letters (Reject, Revise & Resubmit, Conditional). Use this before submission or when preparing a rebuttal.
