jet-identification-strategy
Use when hardening the assumptions, results, and proof architecture of a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) paper — the theory analogue of an identification strategy. Make every assumption explicit and load-bearing, architect the proof so two expert referees can verify it, and defend the generality/tractability trade-off; for JET, "identification" means assumption sets and proof exposition, not a causal design.

# Assumptions, Results & Proof Architecture (jet-identification-strategy)
## When to trigger
- You have a candidate theorem and need to make its assumptions and proof referee-proof
- A referee may ask "is assumption X necessary?" or "does this hold in the general case?"
- You are choosing between a clean special case and a more general but opaque statement
## Why this replaces a causal "identification strategy"
JET is **theory-first**: there is no data design to identify. The credibility of a JET paper rests on
**assumptions that are explicit and minimal, results stated precisely, and proofs an expert can
check** — refereed single-blind by **at least two** reviewers who will verify each step.
