smr-derivation-and-properties
Use when stating assumptions, identification, and analytical properties (bias, consistency, efficiency, asymptotics, validity conditions) of a method in a Sociological Methods & Research (SMR) paper. Audits the theory and proof economy; does not design the Monte Carlo or the real-data illustration.

# SMR Derivation and Properties
Use this for theory integrity. SMR is a methods journal: a property that is asserted but neither
derived nor argued is the most common reviewer wound. You do not need Econometrica-level generality,
but every claim about what the method *does* must be traceable from stated assumptions.
## The traceable chain
A reader should be able to follow, in order:
1. **Target / estimand** — the population quantity or hypothesis the method addresses.
2. **Assumptions** — each one labeled by the role it plays (existence, identification, consistency,
asymptotic normality, finite-sample approximation, computation).
3. **Estimator / statistic** — the exact object computed from data.
