Use when the prose of a Journal of Risk and Uncertainty (JRU) manuscript must convey a decision model and its measurement with precision. Sharpens abstract, intro, and exposition for a risk/uncertainty audience; it does not invent evidence or citations.

# Writing Style (jru-writing-style)

## When to trigger

- The abstract says "we study risk preferences" without naming the primitive, the method, or the headline number
- The introduction motivates with a policy anecdote but never states the decision-theoretic claim
- Notation drifts: the same symbol means utility in one section and value in another, or w(p) is never formally introduced
- The paper reads as either pure theory or pure empirics when JRU readers expect the bridge between them

## The JRU voice

JRU prose is **precise about the decision model and honest about measurement**. The reader is a risk-and-uncertainty specialist who wants, fast: which primitive the paper moves, how it was elicited or estimated, and how big and how precise the effect is. The house register is technical but not ornamental — the model earns its symbols, and every claim is calibrated to what the identification supports.
