Guide

Choose what to check next.

Identify the missing evidence that could change your interpretation, then choose a permitted source to check.

Choose a source for the most important gap

01
Return to the original scope
Prevent interesting new material from silently replacing the question.
02
Find the material gap
Identify what could change the current interpretation.
03
Choose an available source
Use only a path permitted by the current authority and time budget.
04
State the stopping rule
Define when absence, scope, or authority requires the inquiry to stop.

Record the object, evidence, time window, and reason for checking. Do not express the handoff as approval, recommendation, or action.
