# IEEE S&P Writing Style
Use this for drafting and revision passes. The controlling constraint is
S&P's round structure: first-round reviewers cut papers **without a
rebuttal** (`ieeesp-review-process`), so the paper's first two pages must
survive a professional skeptic reading alone, unaided, and slightly tired.
## The first-round survival test
By the end of page 2, a reviewer must be able to answer:
1. **Who is the adversary?** Capabilities, access, and what winning means.
2. **What is the claim?** One sentence, bounded: "we show an attacker with
<access> can <effect> on <target class>, demonstrated on <n> systems."
