A review is not a re-design. We check that the design basis fits the building, that the loads are right, that the governing members work, and that the drawings say what the calculations assume. Findings are listed one by one with the clause they rest on, so the designer can answer each on its merits.
Our own platform prints every step of its calculations for the same reason: a review should be able to read the working, not a summary of it.
