Entailment split. Split when the uses support different conclusions.
Parsimony merge. Merge when no relevant source-grounded test distinguishes the candidates.
Counterexample trigger. Tighten or split a claim that admits a concrete excluded use.
Label check. Tech stays idiomatic; Plain explains without widening.
Address check. Create an F.17 cell only when recurring use needs a stable address.
Edition check. Re-evaluate the interpretation basis before carrying a claim across an edition change.
Coverage ping. If a frequent source expression that matters to the receiving question has no local-sense claim, check whether one useful cluster is missing.
Stop rule. Do not infer a relation to another local meaning from clustering alone.
