+## Review
+
+<!-- When submitting for review, consider the points for self-review and the
+     criteria which will be used for secondary review -->
+
+For the submitter, initial self-review:
+
+- [ ] Commented on code changes inline explain the reasoning behind the approach
+- [ ] Reviewed the test cases added for completeness and possible points for discussion
+- [ ] A changelog entry was added for the goal of this pull request
+- [ ] Check the scope of the changeset - is everything in the diff required for the pull request?
+- This pull request is ready for:
+  - [ ] Initial review of the intended approach, not yet feature complete
+  - [ ] Structural review of the classes, functions, and properties modified
+  - [ ] Final review
+
+For the pull request reviewer(s), this changeset has been reviewed for:
+
+- [ ] Consistency across platforms for structures or concepts added or modified
+- [ ] Consistency between the changeset and the goal stated above
+- [ ] Internal consistency with the rest of the library - is there any overlap between existing interfaces and any which have been added?
+- [ ] Usage friction - is the proposed change in usage cumbersome or complicated?
+- [ ] Performance and complexity - are there any cases of unexpected O(n^3) when iterating, recursing, flat mapping, etc?
+- [ ] Concurrency concerns - if components are accessed asynchronously, what issues will arise
+- [ ] Thoroughness of added tests and any missing edge cases
+- [ ] Idiomatic use of the language
