After the new Five-Point Linked Deduction Rule was announced, differing opinions emerged within Class D.
Some demanded that Gu Heng reduce the number of reviews he conducted, while others wanted review authority handed over to a three-person vote.
Gu Heng did not keep the authority for himself.
He wrote both proposals on the blackboard.
Under the first, reviews would still be handled by him. He would bear responsibility for any mistakes. It was efficient, but the risk was concentrated.
Under the second, reviews would be conducted by Gu Heng, Horikita, and Yukimura. At least two people had to agree before a source could be deemed valid. It would be slower, but the risk would be spread out.

Horikita said as well, "I can judge the trade-offs, but I might not spot loopholes in the sources."
Gu Heng looked at them and confirmed that the three of them had not come together merely to divide up responsibility.
"Then we won't use a full-vote review."
He proposed splitting the work: Yukimura would review timestamps, pages, and permissions; Horikita would review the class's trade-offs; Gu Heng would only review cross-page sources and rule conflicts.
