# Tables & Figures (jhr-tables-figures)

## When to trigger

- Results are ready but tables are dense or over the page limit
- You need reconciliation, robustness, or design diagnostics in exhibit form
- The Online Appendix needs a clear structure

## Exhibit plan

- Table 1: sample, descriptive statistics, and key balance where relevant.
- Main table: preferred specification with transparent controls and clustering.
- Design diagnostic: pre-trends, first stage, manipulation, balance, or event
  study depending on design.
- Reconciliation table: compare your estimate to prior estimates and explain the
  bridge.
- Appendix: robustness, sensitivity, alternative samples, and extra outcomes.

## Notes must state

- Unit, sample, period, outcome units
- Fixed effects and controls
- Clustering level
- Treatment definition
- Survey weights or population weights if used
- Page/appendix location

## Output format

```text
[Exhibit] main table / diagnostic / reconciliation / appendix
