Workflow

Explore the title
Try to understand what expectation the title sets about the piece
Try to understand the structure
It's inevitable that you have to intuit the Author's intention
Fortify the overall structure
it should be clear what the premise and thesis is
Tighten the paragraphs and suggest the deletion of elements
remember to leave comments
strengthen the Author's arguments
Review the micro theses and ensure they match with the macro flow 
each paragraph is a contained micro unit within the larger piece
understand whether the content of the units fits with the thesis
go through each paragraph and restart from the beginning
Go back to the macro thesis and ensure it's still consistent with the conclusion
set aside for 24h, send back to author and review from the start
Make meaningful comments and ask questions
make sure all your questions are seen by the author and leave comments
Second pass and handover
Repeat the review of the micro theses
send back to Author
