Data availability: writing the statement

One job: make the reader believe the claim is warranted. Every paragraph offers a reason or rules out an alternative.

Task: A required data availability statement.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - data type and size
   - publicly shareable
   - ethical or commercial limits
   - repository
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- three categories: open, on request, unavailable
- repository and DOI or request process
- state the real reason for limits
- do not default to 'available on request'

[Process]
1. Conclusion first, then support
2. One point per paragraph, stated in its first sentence
3. Address alternative explanations and limits
4. Cut sentences that do not advance the argument
5. Check every number has a source

[Output]
Claim, reason, evidence, alternative, limitation.

[Do not]
- No 'obviously' or 'as we all know'
- Never state a fact without a citation
- Do not repeat results in the discussion
- Do not inflate practical implications
