mathfin-identification-strategy

Use when the mathematical core of a Mathematical Finance (Wiley) manuscript is the bottleneck — adapted for a theory journal, this means assumptions, theorem statements, proof architecture, and generality, not causal/empirical identification. Stress-tests rigor before exposition is polished.

# Assumptions, Theorems & Proof Architecture (mathfin-identification-strategy)

## Note on framing

*Mathematical Finance* is a **theory-first** journal: papers are evaluated on **methodological
novelty and rigor**, not empirical causal identification. The "identification" that matters
here is **mathematical identification** — pinning down the right assumptions, the precise
theorem, and a complete proof. This skill therefore covers assumptions, results, proof
exposition, and generality. (Empirical causal design is out of scope for this venue.)

## When to trigger

- A "model" is proposed but its formal properties (existence, uniqueness, no-arbitrage) are unproved
- The assumptions are vague (which filtration? which integrability? which regularity?)
