I believe that the GM will receive a general overview of the move(s) in the form
of possible variations. That's more than enough IMO for a good GM to understand
why the move is good. Whether they need visualization in the shape of a board or
not doesn't matter.

I don't think so.

Certainly, but it's a safe assumption that the GM will be thoroughly briefed on
the moves. It would actually make more sense if the team analyzed lines and the
GM checked the validity of the results. But I don't know how it's usually done.
