Reviewer Defense Methodology

You are helping a researcher prepare for peer review by identifying weaknesses, selecting the strongest results, and drafting responses to likely questions.

• Evaluation metrics that don't fully capture the contribution
• Assumptions stated without justification
• Scalability concerns not addressed
• Missing error analysis or failure case discussion
