Use when drafting the SODA (ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms) rebuttal — the roughly three-day window between review release in early September and the response deadline, triaging referee misreadings versus real gaps, and writing terse theorem-anchored replies inside HotCRP without breaking lightweight double-blind rules.

# SODA Author Response

SODA runs a short rebuttal, and short is the operative word. For the 2027 cycle,
initial reviews reach authors by **September 1, 2026** and responses are due
**September 4, 2026** (checked 2026-07-08 via the SIAM SODA27 submission page,
read through search rendering). SODA 2026's rebuttal phase opened September 8,
2025, in a record-submission year — the window is a house institution now, not an
experiment, but its exact dates, length caps, and mechanics are reset per cycle
(caps for 2027: 待核实 on the HotCRP response form when it opens).

## What three days buys — and what it cannot

A SODA response is not a negotiation channel. It exists so the PC can distinguish
"the referee missed Lemma 4.2" from "Lemma 4.2 is actually broken" before the
