01

Research focus

Provide question, editions, inputs and full procedures without prescribing a desired judgment. Separate textual, procedural and interpretive review.

02

Procedure and example

Use a shared form for reproducible, missing, disputed and undecidable points. Preserve disagreements and never treat silence as approval.

03

Output and review

Deliver responses and disposition notes. Review participation is not institutional endorsement. Attach every comment to a passage or step, avoiding only general agreement or disagreement.
