Individual skill
ecta-referee-strategy
Use to red-team an Econometrica manuscript before submission and to anticipate co-editor and referee objections — proof gaps, generality, missing finite-sample evidence, and competing methods. Predicts and pre-empts attacks; it does not draft the response letter after reports arrive (use ecta-rebuttal).

# Referee and Co-Editor Strategy (ecta-referee-strategy)
## When to trigger
- Before submitting, to find the hole a referee will find first
- When you suspect a proof step or a generality claim is the weak point
- When choosing how to present the contribution to survive a demanding referee pool
- When deciding what to put in the body vs. the Supplemental Material to pre-empt objections
Econometrica's referees are usually experts in exactly your method — often the authors of
the results you build on. Reviews are demanding, multi-round, and the **co-editor and
referees check proofs closely**. Assume every step will be read by someone who could have
proven it themselves.
