* '''Overall, what is the current point standing?'''

::Point standing have great influence over whether to call riichi or not.  In this example, it was completely unnecessary.
* '''Is it necessary to improve the hand by calling riichi?'''
* '''Would [[damaten]] be sufficient?'''
::[http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2014081313gm-0089-0000-16dea257&tw=1 Answer]
::For the first two hands, riichi was not called as the hands were valued enough without the riichi call.  A call for riichi in either example produces minimal gain for the risk of riichi.
* '''Can the hand be improved by drawing particular tiles?'''
* '''How many tiles are available for winning?'''
* '''Is it safe to discard the extra tile, to call riichi?'''
* '''Did anyone else call riichi previously?'''
* '''How many tile draws are left?'''
* '''Does the hand require riichi to end the game, while in the preferred position (1st - 3rd)?'''
::[http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2014081513gm-0089-0000-aba022ec&tw=3 Answer]
::Riichi was called here, as the hand is able to end the game by sending a player into negative.  Yet, the position of 2nd is retained.
