TYPOS: Misspellings, duplicated words, search-and-replace artifacts
NOTATION: Consistent use of $\mathbb{F}_p$, $\mathcal{A}$, $\lambda$; variables introduced before use; quantifiers explicit
LATEX: Missing ~ before \cite/\ref, \left/\right mismatches, mismatched environments
ACADEMIC QUALITY: Informal language, vague claims ("it is clear that..."), missing words
