Reviews of various kinds are an established part of system development, but rely on the vigilance and thoroughness of the human participants for their quality. The use of formal methods as part of the toolkit deployed during review can increase those elements of dependability that formal methods do best to support. A methodology that proposes that formal techniques are used alongside conventional system construction practices during review is introduced. These can reduce the human burden of ensuring review quality, even if the coupling between the formal and conventional strands is not itself formally enforced.
