01
Research focus
List variables and units, then split the source into steps. Record source locator, operation and output for each step, keeping editions separate.
02
Procedure and example
Test ordinary, boundary and unhandled inputs. Label reconstruction assumptions instead of treating implementation additions as ancient text.
03
Output and review
Deliver a flowchart, worked trace and exception table. Executability alone establishes neither historical attribution nor empirical validity.
