contents We introduce infrared finite, analytic, crossing symmetric, Regge behaved, and Lorentz invariant amplitudes $\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal {E}}$, labeled by the experimental energy resolution $\mathcal{E}$ for detecting soft photons and gravitons. For $\mathcal{E}$ exponentially smaller than any hard scale, they also satisfy unitarity and their associated cross sections reproduce the inclusive, infrared-finite cross sections of ordinary amplitudes. These properties make $\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{E}}$ suitable for deriving infrared-safe positivity bounds on effective field theories in the presence of long-range forces even in $D=4$. As an illustration, we present explicit bounds in the low-energy theory of pions coupled to electromagnetism and gravity.
