F.9.1:4.1 - Recover the claim before writing the gloss

Before adding a stance note, check four things:

1. the two exact F.17 local senses are known;
2. an F.9 Bridge between them obtains;
3. one separate bounded-use claim identifies the proposed use, direction, rule, tolerated loss, and polarity; and
4. the stance note has a named reader benefit that the claim does not already express plainly enough.

If items 1 or 2 are missing, return to F.9. If item 3 is missing, write and test the bounded-use claim. If item 4 is missing, stop: no stance note is needed.
