A.6.3.CSC:4.2 - First check

Before using the shorter candidate, ask:

  1. Is the present reader or use explicit, and are the distinctions needed for that use named before shortening?
  2. Can the source passage or account be reached directly, and does the candidate preserve every named distinction?
  3. Are all omissions and weakenings identified, and is every candidate claim supported by the source rather than added or strengthened by fluent prose—for example a number, classification, temporal statement, approval status, causal claim, modal claim, or authority claim?
  4. Is the stronger downstream use that remains non-admissible stated together with a practical return trigger?
  5. Are the source material, candidate content, publication occurrence, form, carrier, actual Work, evidence, assurance, authority, and gate claim kept separate whenever one of those distinctions is current?

This first check tests only source-to-candidate fidelity; it establishes neither that the source claims are true nor that the source or candidate is adequate for a later decision. If any answer is no, revise the candidate or return to the source. Use A.6.3.CR when no controlled-loss or narrower-use issue remains, A.6.3.RT when representation-scheme change is primary, A.6.4 when the EntityOfConcern changes, and E.8, A.7, or E.24.PUB when the live object is authoring, extraction/carrier behavior, or publication. A repair request describes future work. Resume a blocked use only after the required repair is complete and verified.
