We extend the "naive dimensional analysis" arguments used in QCD for estimating the strengths of operators in chiral Lagrangians to strongly coupled supersymmetric theories. In particular, we show how to count factors of 4 pi ---an inexact science, but nevertheless a useful art when such theories are used to model real particle physics.

The Art of Counting: a reappraisal of the HEFT expansion
hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

HEFT admits two consistent power counting schemes, one with a single low-energy scale v and one with two scales v < f, each allowing systematic truncation of operators and amplitudes for any normalization choice.
