IME it is not a "size" issue at all; rather, it is the
difference between a "completed" fine print and a good
guess at exposure and contrast that will inform you of the
steps necessary to make a "fine print". It literally
helps you "work" out the next steps toward making a better
print. One might call it a preliminary map for the
"treasured-buried-here". While I don't appreciate
"Holgas" et al, I'd guess that if their output lacks
refinement then applying darkroom magic after the fact
would be "cheating-over" the classic sense of a "Holga's"
lack of refinement. So a judge just might want to see how
much "sophistication" has been added.
This is also my understanding of the term. A print made
to find out what adjustments or manipulating need to be done
to make a finished print.
