# Rebuttal & R&R Response (cps-rebuttal)
An R&R is a contract: address **every** point from each reviewer and the editor, show what changed, and
point to where. CPS reviewers are comparativists; they care most about comparative leverage, the rival
explanations, measurement across cases, and inference. Treat the letter as a navigable document the
editor can verify against the revised manuscript.
## When to trigger
- A decision letter arrives with reviewer reports (R&R, or major/minor revisions)
- Planning the revision and the point-by-point response
- Reviewers disagree with each other and you must reconcile their demands
- A reviewer asks for analyses that would change the paper's identification or scope
