Use when drafting a CAV (Computer Aided Verification) author response (rebuttal) for a paper that has passed the two-stage review's first filter, covering how to answer soundness/proof objections, benchmark-fairness challenges, and novelty-delta doubts with verifiable evidence while preserving double-anonymity for Regular and Application papers.

# CAV Author Response

Use this after CAV stage-2 reviews are released. At CAV the rebuttal exists **only for papers that
passed the stage-1 filter** — the two-stage process means a rejected paper never reaches this turn.
So the rebuttal is a focused instrument: answer what the two additional reviewers, and the two from
stage 1, need in order to advocate for the paper in the PC discussion. For Regular and Application
papers, the response must respect double-anonymity — do not reveal authors, the tool's real name, or
identity-revealing repositories.

## Triage

- Answer what affects the decision: **soundness of the theorem/proof**, **fairness and
  reproducibility of the benchmarks**, **novelty/delta** against prior verification work, scope, and
  clarity.
