ijoc-contribution-framing
Use when the one-sentence computational/methodological claim of an INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) manuscript is not sharp, or the contribution reads as application rather than computing. Sharpens the "what is new and by how much"; it does not run the experiments that back it.

# Contribution Framing (ijoc-contribution-framing)
## When to trigger
- You cannot state in one sentence **what is computationally new and by how much**
- The intro frames an *application* win when the contribution should be the *method*
- A coauthor or referee says "interesting but what is the actual contribution?"
- The experiments are solid (`ijoc-data-analysis`) but the paper does not *claim* them crisply
## The IJOC contribution sentence
A strong IJOC contribution sentence names the **method**, the **axis of improvement**, the **magnitude**, and the **evidence regime** — and is falsifiable. Template:
> "We propose [method] for [OR problem]; it [wins on axis] by [magnitude] over [SOTA baseline] on [benchmark set], with [guarantee/property]."
