NOT.4:7 - Conformance Checklist
When the proposed transformation needs checking, examine the questions that bear on its intended use.
- Is the reading or edit to improve stated, together with the consequence to preserve?
- Can the matched structure, replacement and their connection to the surrounding expression be recovered?
- Do references, local assumptions and side conditions remain valid at each place where the rule is used?
- Does the preservation argument cover the stated family, or is the conclusion limited to the instances examined?
- Has a transformed expression actually supported the intended reading or change?
- Does the nearby failing case reveal the condition that blocks an invalid reuse?
- Can the work stop with this result, or does a stated further use justify retaining or searching additional forms?
