Robustness · medium severity
The result is shown to hold across methods, not to depend on one
One method producing one number is a single point. Showing the estimate under the reasonable alternatives is what tells the reviewer whether the conclusion survives a different, defensible choice.
The check
Does the outline show the result will be examined under more than one method or data cut?
What the outline has to carry
- alternatives
- consistency
A check is met only when every element above is present. One element on its own is a partly evidenced check, not a pass.
What resolves it
State the primary method, the alternatives that will be run, and the threshold at which the conclusion changes. Report the estimates side by side rather than only the preferred one.
