Use when anticipating the microstructure referee's objections for a Journal of Financial Markets (JFM) manuscript — a pre-submission pre-mortem and, post-decision, a triage of the report. Anticipates and triages; it does not invent evidence or citations.

# Referee Strategy (jfm-referee-strategy)

## When to trigger

- Pre-submission: you want to surface the objections a microstructure insider will raise before they do
- A report arrived and you need to triage which comments are fatal, fixable, or push-back
- You suspect the referee will challenge measurement or endogeneity rather than the idea
- You need to estimate whether the asks are within an R&R's reach or signal a reject
- The editor's letter prioritizes some comments and you must read the signal

## The objections JFM referees actually raise

A JFM referee is a microstructure specialist. The predictable lines of attack cluster, and most live in measurement and identification, not novelty.
