| Endpoint dossier before target | Ordinary work stalls before a useful table, diagram, or notation exists. | Produce the target and source comparison first; open exact identities only at a named receiving-use trigger. |
| Every format shift is harmless | Representation changes alter inspection, salience, and recoverability. | State the practical representation/reasoning delta and compare source with target. |
| Scheme, semiotic mode, and viewpoint collapsed | Users cannot tell what changed or which claim needs review. | Name only the distinction that changes use, and keep viewpoint under E.17.0 when it is current. |
| Notation becomes ontology | Geometry or notation appears to define the world. | Point every target-side relation back to source claims or establish the new ontology claim separately. |
| Occurrence description treated as occurrence | A changed description, publication, layout, or carrier appears to change relation identity. | Keep six-participant identity on the occurrence and identify the description under C.2.1. |
| Retargeting hidden as representation | A changed EntityOfConcern is mislabeled as same-concern conversion. | Use A.6.4 when the concern changes. |
| Latent case first | Decode demands overwhelm the ordinary representation task. | Keep latent use exploratory until decoding access and recovery evidence are explicit. |
