A.6.3.RT.OE:4.4 - Check what the arrangement says

Read the prepared expression using the selected conventions. Compare its participating parts, grouping, ordering and reference with the source content.

Pay particular attention to a relation conveyed by position, enclosure, adjacency, repetition or timing. State its meaning when the convention does not already supply it. An arrow can mean implication, temporal order, a permitted transition or material flow; use the relation needed by this expression.

Test a small case that would distinguish the intended reading from a plausible changed one. In :5.2, the continuation C distinguishes two groupings because one requires A first and the other permits C on its own. The test exposes a change in permitted work that a list of retained letters would miss.

When the expression is used as a replacement for another, A.6.3.RT compares the content carried between them. A coarsened or partial expression may still be useful for the selected operation; retain a way to recover a distinction that a later use needs.
