AER Consistency

Overview

Referees and editors run cheap integrity checks before engaging with ideas: does the abstract's number appear in the tables? Do the Ns add up? Does "Table 4" exist? Does every citation resolve? A single mismatch reframes the entire report from "is this right?" to "what else is wrong?" — and for AI-assisted manuscripts these mismatches are the modal failure, because text and tables are often generated in separate passes.

This skill is the full-manuscript integrity audit. It is mechanical by design: every check below has a yes/no answer obtained by comparing two artifacts, not by judgment. Run it after every revision round, not only before first submission.
