Individual skill
demog-rebuttal
Use when writing the response to a Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) revise-and-resubmit. Demography review is double-blind and synthesized by a topic-area Deputy Editor, so the response must convert every expert reviewer on demographic substance (rates, identification, methods) without alienating the editor. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate new results.

# R&R Rebuttal (demog-rebuttal)
A Demography **R&R is a real opportunity** — expert demographers thought the contribution is worth
saving. But the Editor decides on the recommendation of a topic-area **Deputy Editor** who synthesized
the reviews, so the response letter must move *every* reviewer toward yes on **demographic substance**
while keeping the editor confident the revision is convergent.
## When to trigger
- An R&R decision arrived and you are planning the revision + response letter
- Reviewers disagree (e.g., on rate construction, the APC constraint, or identification) and you must reconcile them
- A reviewer requests analyses (a re-decomposition, a sensitivity, a competing-risks model) that could change the claims
- Writing the cover note to the editor summarizing the revision
