F.1:4.4.1 - Keep the question and bound the available material

Keep the original question, what an answer would change, and any unresolved condition. A plain concern can start finding; it need not yet have the independent identity required for a SourceCutNote. Separate that concern from the words tried in a search. If you add an interpretation, mark it as a hypothesis to test against the material.

Source reading can change what you understand the question to be. Keep the original receiving concern and explain what the new material changes: a different needed result, a mistaken premise or an additional condition. Use B.5.PI:4.4 when that inquiry needs reconstruction, then return with the revised question. A query variant tries another way to find material for a question; a revised question can require different material.

Establish what can actually be inspected: which publications, collections or archive portions, which editions, and what access they provide. Full bodies, titles, excerpts and an index have different reach. Record a consequential missing collection or unavailable original. This boundary makes a later no-hit result interpretable and prevents an available subset from silently standing for the whole repertoire.
