A.16.1:16.1 - Minimal preservation package

A robust cue pack should make visible:

• the cue nucleus being preserved,
• the preservation rationale,
• the primary witness or primary anchor when one is load-bearing,
• the candidate anchors / contrasts / exemplars that keep the nucleus non-arbitrary,
• the secondary witnesses or carriers that corroborate or enrich it,
• and the lane candidates or route-candidate hints, if such directional hints are already visible.

This is what turns early cues into an admissible preservation form.
