Switching step-check checks orders line-by-line, load flow at every intermediate step against limits, writes fallbacks for switches that could fail.
Switching step-check drafts and load-checks a switching order at every intermediate step against the utility's limits before it reaches the field, while the dispatcher keeps ownership of every order. It drafts routine orders from topology and past orders, each order is checked by a second person reading it line by line, and it writes a fallback for each switch that could fail to operate. Complex orders go to a person with the reasons.
When a switch fails mid-procedure, there is rarely a written fallback for the failed step.
