Abstract
Disclosed is an improved approach to implement selective transformations of circuit components for performing verification. The approach looks at the observability of components to downstream properties to determine whether transformations are needed. The verification system leverages the knowledge about the behavior of the domains/components to identify only a subset of components that really need to undergo transformation.
