Use when deciding whether a physics result clears Physical Review Letters' importance-and-broad-interest gate, or whether it belongs in Physical Review A–E / PR Research. Diagnoses venue fit; does not write or frame the result.

# PRL Scope Fit (prl-scope-fit)
## When to trigger
- You suspect the result is solid but may be "incremental" or "specialist"
- You cannot articulate why a physicist outside your subfield should care
- A coauthor asks "PRL or Phys. Rev. B?"
- An editor has previously bounced similar work on importance/breadth grounds
- Before investing in figures and prose, you want a go / no-go on venue
## The two-part gate (both must pass)
PRL publishes Letters across **all** of physics — condensed matter, AMO, particle/nuclear, gravitation/astro, statistical/soft, quantum information, and more. The gate is two tests, AND-ed:
