Results Writer

Purpose

Turn verified experimental outputs into a precise Results narrative. This skill helps authors state what the results show, what they do not show, and how figures/tables support the paper's claims.

When To Use

• Writing result paragraphs from tables and figures.
• Revising overclaimed result text.
• Aligning Results with Abstract and Introduction claims.
• Preparing figure/table callouts.

Inputs

Required:

• tables and figures;
• metric definitions;
• baseline names;
• key numerical findings;
• claim-evidence matrix.

Optional:

• statistical tests;
• seed variance;
• qualitative examples;
• failure cases.

Procedure

1. Identify the claim each table/figure supports.
2. State the comparison before interpreting the number.
3. Report exact metrics and conditions when central.
4. Distinguish main results, ablations, qualitative results, and failure cases.
5. Avoid causal explanations unless the experiment isolates the cause.
6. Add caveats for small datasets, high variance, or missing baselines.
7. Ensure result statements match Abstract/Introduction wording.

Rubric

Dimension	Strong	Weak
Specificity	Names metric, baseline, setting	Says "better"
Claim alignment	Supports stated contribution	New claims appear only in Results
Interpretation	Explains what result means	Repeats table values
Scope	Notes limitations	Generalizes beyond setup
Visual linkage	Figures are referenced meaningfully	Figures are decorative

Venue Adaptation

• ICLR/NeurIPS/ICML: connect results to hypotheses, ablations, and robustness.
• CVPR/ECCV: balance quantitative results with qualitative examples and failure cases.
• AAAI: keep result interpretation accessible to broad AI reviewers.
• TMI: avoid clinical utility claims unless validation supports them; report cohort/protocol limits.
• arXiv: include complete result context and artifact availability.
