I'd say that doing it badly and hurriedly only in hopes of getting a higher GOE on the jump would make it a meaningless transition.
Doing it well, in relation to the music and the overall patterning of the program, would make it meaningful . . . and would therefore be more likely to inspire judges to actually raise the GOE of the jump and also to reward it in several program components.
Yeah, I really don't know which special connection Charlotte spiral can have with the idea behind the programme, beside to be well timed with the music. We can take any other spiral and i don't see how any type of it can be connected with the character or the story/general mood/idea behind the programme. Every spiral is a move in the field and meaning of them in first place is to show skater's flexibility/extension/body movements and/or blades work. In Alina's case specificaly the meaning of the move is to be transitional one - it is not performed as a required element/ Choreo/Spiral sequence - but as a part of the pattern (and i would say very original one with whom she fullfills another Compositions criteria as it is Multidimensional use of space) to help her get in another part of the ice rink where she needs to perform one of her required element/jump. It also can count as a difficult entry into the jump.
