Reconstruction of program logic is development of a comprehensive chain of reasoning that links investments into a program with the program results by piecing together bits of evidence collected in the course of program evaluation.

In the real world logic of programs under evaluation is not always clear and consistent. According to my experience, three most common flaws in program logic are:
