框 · Frame

[whole number] 點 [single digit][single digit]…

觸 · Trigger

Say a number with a decimal point aloud in Chinese.

序 · The move

1Read everything left of the dot as one whole number, each digit with its place-value word.Is the left side a normal spoken number?

2Say 點 for the dot.Did I voice the point as 點?

3Read every digit right of the dot one at a time, no place-value words.Did I name each fraction digit singly, never as 百/十?

例 · Examples

13.254 三the whole part, read as a normal number點the decimal point二五四two, five, four — each digit said singly

3.254 — three point two five four.

界 · Boundary

稱數法 (whole-number naming)

Before 點 a number keeps its place-value words (三 in 三千); after 點 every digit is bare, said singly — 二五四, never 二百五十四.

零 placeholder vs spoken zero after the point

In a whole number 零 fills one empty middle column once; after 點 every zero digit is spoken in turn (0.05 → 零點零五), since each fraction place is read on its own.

✗ 3.254 三點二百五十四 → ✓ 三點二五四

✗ 0.5 零五 → ✓ 零點五

✗ 3.254 三逗號二五四 → ✓ 三點二五四 (the separator is 點, not a comma)

English also says the digits singly after 'point', so the move transfers; the trap is importing place-values onto the fraction side or naming the dot anything but 點.
