jaar-structure-and-exposition

# Structure & Exposition (jaar-structure-and-exposition)
A JAAR article is a humanities essay, not an IMRaD report: it has no fixed Methods/Results sections.
Its architecture must carry a thesis-driven argument and make the broad significance visible, all
inside roughly **8,000–12,000 words including references and footnotes**. This skill designs that build.
## When to trigger
- Outlining the article or restructuring a sprawling draft
- The argument is sound but readers get lost in the sections
- Over the length budget and needing to cut without losing the argument
- The introduction or conclusion isn't doing its job
