Good list. I'd add to number 5, from the side of the person who would actually do it. I'm the non-technical spouse in our house :)
"Walk through the letter" can mean the trusted person reads it while you explain. That was us for years: my husband explained, I nodded along. What actually tested it was different. I followed the steps alone, with him sitting behind me and not allowed to help. I got stuck early, mostly on words he never noticed were jargon.
A few things that made the test count for us:
Don't help. Every hint you give won't help them on the day it matters unless it's written in a way they can understand it.
When they stop, ask how they'd have worded that step, and rewrite it in their words.
Start again from the beginning each time.
End with a small payment they send themselves and see arrive.
Our first version took about twenty rounds. After we simplified our setup, the new guide took seven more. Then my husband followed it to the letter himself too, in case he's the one who forgets :)
