separate

Use when a complete draft exists and needs an adversarial internal review before submission — simulating the AER desk screen and three referee reports with calibrated severity, scoring the paper against the editorial rubric, and producing a prioritized revise list. Apply after aer-consistency passes and before aer-submission; rerun until the simulated verdict is at least major R&R.

• A complete draft exists (body, exhibits, bibliography) and
• Before every submission and resubmission
• After a real rejection, to test whether the revision would survive the
• When coauthors disagree about whether the paper is ready

When not to use

• typo-hunting
• replacing aer-consistency
