Your initials identify your file among other raters. Nothing is sent anywhere until you send the file yourself.

1Where does the work start?

The state the authors were in before the first step: what they had in hand and what moved them.

2Which modes does the paper use?

Mark each mode absent, minor or central. For every mode you mark, quote the passage that shows it (25 words at most) and give the page.

3Which mode did the decisive work?

The one step without which the main claim would not stand.

4In what order did the modes run?

Click modes in the order the work used them; add a mode again when the work came back to it. Mark a step as a return when it follows a failed attempt. Use the order of the work where the paper reveals it, not the order of the sections.

5How did the paper decide between modes?

The questions of the decision tree, in order. For each, choose the answer the paper gave and where it led. Choose "not addressed" when the paper never faces the question, and "can't tell" when it does but the text doesn't show the answer.

6Where does it end?

7What is missing from the paper?

Steps the work must have taken that the paper does not report: failed attempts, abandoned rivals, reruns, choices made before the final design. Say what makes you think so.
