msom-tables-figures
Use when building the exhibits for a Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) manuscript — numerical-study tables, policy and sensitivity plots for analytical work, regression and identification tables for empirical work — in INFORMS house style and inside the official template that enforces the 32-page cap.

# Tables & Figures (msom-tables-figures)
## When to trigger
- Numerical-study or regression tables are cluttered or not self-explanatory
- Policy structure / comparative statics need a figure a reviewer can read at a glance
- You are fitting exhibits into the official M&SOM template and the page budget is tight
- Notation in exhibits does not match the text
## Page budget reality: exhibits count against the cap
M&SOM enforces a **hard 32-page maximum** for a new submission that **includes everything** — references, tables, graphs/figures, and appendices — measured when typeset on the official **LaTeX/Word style files** (one column, 11-pt font, 1-inch margins). Unlike narrative word-limit journals, this cap is mechanically enforced on the template, so every table and figure trades directly against text. Build in the template from the start; move bulky proofs, extra numerical experiments, and supporting tables to the **online supplement (≤ 16 pages)**.
