Use when the model setup, equilibrium concept, or proof architecture is the bottleneck for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — the central skill for a theory-first paper. Builds the model to the AEJ: Micro bar (clean, general, well-motivated result); it does not check whether your theorem is correct.

# Theory Model & Proof Architecture (aejmic-theory-model)

This is the **central skill** for AEJ: Micro. The journal is theory-first: the deliverable is a **clean, general, well-motivated result** — a theorem, characterization, or impossibility — that a broad microeconomics audience finds illuminating. Get the model and the proof right before anything else.

## When to trigger

- The primitives (players, actions, information, timing, payoffs) are not yet pinned down
- The **equilibrium / solution concept** is unstated or mismatched to the question
- A result is conjectured but the **proof strategy** is unclear or fragile
- You are trading **generality against tractability** and cannot decide where to cut
- A referee questions which assumption the result actually depends on (then pair with `aejmic-identification`)
