NSTD.4:5.3 - Choosing a viewpoint repair

Keep wording that already makes the relevant action clear. If a viewpoint hides a needed relation, add that relation, change perspective or name the responsible participant. Mark a scenario or metaphor when the reader could otherwise rely on it as an observation. Replace the device if its effect depends on concealing a fact needed for the intended use.

To compare alternatives, try a short literal account or another viewpoint and ask what the reader can now recover. For the database case, the comparison is whether the reader can explain the wait and locate the configurable choice. For the future-user case, it is whether the reader distinguishes a proposed experience from observed user evidence. Use NSTD.6 when a declared quality result is needed; these diagnostic questions are not a second ordinal scale.
