Use when revising an ACM FAccT paper so that a fairness/accountability/transparency contribution is legible on the first page to a mixed CS+law+social-science reviewer pool, claims are scoped to who is affected, limitations and harms are argued rather than recited, the interdisciplinary framing is native, and the acmart page budget and endmatter statements are used well.

# FAccT Writing Style
Use this when revising the main paper. FAccT papers are read by a **deliberately mixed panel** —
a computer scientist, a lawyer, and a qualitative social scientist may each land on your paper — so
the writing must make a **fairness, accountability, or transparency contribution legible to all
three** and must be honest about who is affected and how. The failure this skill prevents is a
paper that is excellent inside one discipline and illegible or naive to the others.
## Revision rules
- **Lead with the FAccT contribution.** The first page names the socio-technical problem, who bears
the harm or holds the accountability, why the current state is inadequate, the contribution
(method, audit, framework, critique, study, or legal analysis), and what changes for people —
before any model or doctrinal detail.
