B.5.RA:7 - Conformance Checklist

For the argument and use being recovered:

1. The intended use and the conclusion’s domain and conditions are recoverable.
2. The explanation states the main reason for the result and connects it to the decisive steps.
3. The needed transitions identify their premises, inference or operation and result.
4. Joint premises, sufficient alternatives, shared assumptions and temporary assumptions retain their different roles.
5. The reader can perform the intended use or identify the missing transition or premise that prevents it.
6. A small instance supports the explanation at its stated scope; a general conclusion has its corresponding reasoning.
7. Further checking is selected for an unresolved question, and adequately supported parts remain reusable.

For an argument using :4.4a, also inspect whether the claims preserve the source’s scope, conditions and attribution; a consequential competing reading has been resolved or retained; and the selected scheme fits the offered reasoning. Intermediate conclusions and joint reasons must expose the actual dependency. Reconstructed premises and conclusions remain distinguishable from supplied ones and from the reader’s new grounds. Each consequential objection has a target and grounds. A changed condition should revise the affected support without automatically asserting the opposite conclusion.

These are questions about the recovered reasoning. Their answers may already be evident in the working explanation or application.
