Establish the game, edition, relevant agreement, and fictional conditions before applying a procedure. Retrieve a reference when needed. If lookup would disrupt play, agree a bounded provisional ruling and record what needs checking afterward.
Example: A familiar rule from a different edition is a reason to verify, not evidence that it applies here. State which procedure you are using and why.
Check your understanding: Does consistency require identical outcomes for different conditions? No. Apply the stated procedure consistently while explaining relevant differences.
Application: choose a situation where you could try this approach. Write the cue you will look for and the action you intend to take.
