Reviewing a contractor's monthly P6 update: what do you check first?

Every month the same job: compare this month's XER against last month's, find out why the finish date moved, and write it up for the PM or the client.
My checklist, in order:
Finish-date movement, and which activities drive it
Deleted or changed relationships on the critical and near-critical paths
Durations cut or grown with no basis given
New hard constraints (Mandatory Finish, Finish On or Before) that hide negative float
Activities that slipped but gained float (usually a sign logic was removed)
Out-of-sequence progress and actuals after the data date
Whether the narrative actually explains what the XER shows
What would you add?
