Use when drafting USENIX FAST author responses, covering the short pre-notification rebuttal during the author-response period and — distinctively — the one-shot-revision change ledger that maps every required change (including any newly required storage experiments) to a concrete result, resubmitted at the next deadline for a terminal accept/reject.

# FAST Author Response

Use this after FAST reviews arrive. FAST has **two distinct speaking turns**, and conflating them is
a common mistake: a short **author-response (rebuttal)** during the pre-notification window, and — if
you receive a **one-shot revision** — a full **change ledger** accompanying a revised paper that is
re-read for a terminal accept/reject. Both keep double-blind: the response and any revision material
must not reveal authors, institutions, systems by name, or a private repository.

## Triage (both turns)

- Answer what affects the decision: the storage contribution's significance, soundness of the
  measurement, device/state credibility, baseline fairness, tail-latency and endurance evidence,
  crash-consistency, and clarity.
- Use evidence that already exists or that the revision will concretely add — never a vague promise.
