EXD.6:4.2 - Identify the smallest material change

Use the construction that addresses the live difficulty: clarify the question, add a missing ground, build a discriminating example, coordinate an expression or guide a recipient product. Name which of content, expression, preparation, help or target changed.

When comparing forms, keep the selected claims and receiving conditions comparable. When coordinated changes are needed, compare the whole proposed repair but limit attribution accordingly. A claim inventory can help identify what both candidates express; it is not a measure of recovered structure.

FPF C.11.CRC supplies configuration-relative contribution comparison and C.11 the marginal-choice question. For Method descriptions, use ME.22’s actual comparison. For instructional material, use HCD.19’s representative-reader work and diagnosis. Their supplied results can answer the comparison.
