- The math is correct but the proof reads as a wall of symbols
ET expects rigorous theorem-proof writing that a fellow theorist can follow without reverse-engineering every step. Aim for:
Treat this skill as an executable review pass, not a prose hint. First lock the primitive assumptions, theorem statement, proof route, and example showing why the result matters; then judge whether the current manuscript answers the venue's real reader: econometric theorists who read for assumptions, theorem novelty, proof architecture, and relation to known asymptotics.
claim / evidence / risk / manuscript location rows, so the next agent can edit rather than rediscover the issue.resources/official-source-map.md has been checked for volatile rules and the manuscript has one concrete fix for the largest venue-specific risk.【Proof exposition】roadmaps + isolated lemmas?
