anmath-referee-strategy

Use when anticipating how an expert Annals of Mathematics referee will verify a proof — stress-testing the argument for gaps, checking external dependencies, and pre-empting the questions a careful reader will ask. Hardens the manuscript before submission; does not write the rebuttal (anmath-revision).

# Referee Strategy (anmath-referee-strategy)

## When to trigger

- The manuscript is essentially final and you want to pre-empt referee objections
- You want an adversarial read of your own proof before an expert does it for you
- You are unsure which steps a careful referee will distrust
- You want to decide what to make easier to verify before sending

## How Annals referees read

Expect a referee who is an **expert and verifies proofs in detail**, often over a long
