Sorry, but this post is a load of crap. This is the COMPLETE set up to Adelina's 2A:Neither of them did any steps or skating movements movements directly preceding the solo double axel.
Kim
Sotnikova
Kim did hers as the next element after her choreo sequence (the 9 movements you refer to), which was scored as its own element, but there was a break before she went into the 2A, so it wouldn't add any positive bullet point to the jump. I don't think either of them should earn bullet points 1, 2, or 3.
Sotnikova does a nice mazurka off the landing of her 2A, step, three turn, spin. Kim just steps forward directly from the landing into the spin. I would say that both those transitions contribute somewhat to the intricacy criterion of the Transitions component, but wouldn't add to the GOE of the double axel. If anything, Sotnikova's might count as "good extension on landing / creative exit," which might account for the couple of +3s she earned for the jump.

If we're talking specifically the intricacy of Adelina's 2A jumping pass it is extremely disingenuous to cut her lengthy entrance. She goes straight from her 3S to the 2A with nothing but cross overs in between. This is the opposite if what the ISU considers balance and intricacy in figure skating programs. For that matter it is more difficult, not less to go directly into a spin after a jump, and unlike Adelina's spin, Yunas was timed with the music. Again Adelina doing one or two random pieces if footwork does not make her program good. She largely had a jump fest and sandwiched her foot work on either end of the program.
