rof-contribution-framing
Use when the marginal contribution of a Review of Finance (RoF) manuscript to the finance literature is fuzzy or undersold — turning a result into a defensible "what we now know that we did not" claim that a top-three-standard referee will accept.

# Contribution Framing (rof-contribution-framing)
## When to trigger
- A reader finishes the intro and asks "so what?"
- The contribution is stated as "we study X" rather than "we show Y, which changes Z"
- The paper's novelty is method or data, not a finance insight
## The RoF contribution bar
RoF referees apply **top-three-finance-journal standards** and split reports into **(1) major concerns required for publication** and **(2) suggestions**. The contribution determines bucket (1): if the marginal finance insight is thin, no amount of robustness fixes the verdict. Because RoF runs a **two-round decision philosophy** and aims to decide by the second round, the contribution must be legible and defensible **in round one** — the editor will likely **ignore new round-two concerns** raised late. Frame it so the major-concern bucket has nothing to attack on the "is this interesting?" axis.
