Use when the "what does this advance in game theory?" sentence is missing or muddy for a Games and Economic Behavior (GEB) manuscript. Forges the single-sentence contribution and the introduction's claim structure so the Editor in Charge sees the advance immediately.

# Contribution Framing (geb-contribution-framing)

## When to trigger

- The introduction lists what you did but never states what is *new for game theory*
- A reader finishes the intro unsure whether to be impressed
- The contribution is buried under setup, notation, or related work
- You are about to write the cover letter and need a crisp claim

## Why framing decides the desk screen

At GEB the chief editor routes each paper to one of **seven Editors** as the **Editor in Charge**, who can desk-reject before any referee sees it — about **one-third of submissions are desk-rejected**. That Editor is a game theorist reading many papers; the advance must be unmistakable in the abstract and first page. With only **~15%** of submissions ultimately published, a paper whose contribution is implicit competes poorly against one that states it plainly. Framing is not spin — it is making a real advance legible fast.
