Plane Wave Analysis:
$\frac{d}{dt} \alpha = \alpha_{,t} - \mathcal{L}_\vec\beta \alpha = -\alpha^2 Q$
$\frac{d}{dt} \gamma_{ij} = \gamma_{ij,k} - \mathcal{L}_\vec\beta \gamma_{ij} = -2 \alpha K_{ij}$
$\frac{d}{dt} K_{ij} = K_{ij,t} - \mathcal{L}_\vec\beta K_{ij} = -D_i D_j \alpha + \alpha (R_{ij} + K K_{ij} - 2 K_{ik} {K^k}_j)$
expanding $D_i$'s:
$\frac{d}{dt} K_{ij} = -\alpha_{,ij} + {\Gamma^k}_{ij} \alpha_{,k} + \alpha (R_{ij} + K K_{ij} - 2 K_{ik} {K^k}_j)$
expanding $\frac{d}{dt}$'s:
$\alpha_{,t} - \alpha_{,i} \beta^i = -\alpha^2 Q$
$\gamma_{ij,t} - \gamma_{ij,k} \beta^k - \gamma_{kj} {\beta^k}_{,i} - \gamma_{ik} {\beta^k}_{,j} = -2 \alpha K_{ij}$

Let...
$\alpha = \hat\alpha exp(i(\vec{k} \cdot \vec{x} - \omega t))$

$= i \frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{\alpha} (\omega + \beta^k k_k) \gamma_{ij}$

"plane wave in x direction" according to Alcubierre, Allen, Brugmann, Seidel, Suen 2000 - section 2:
with $\alpha = 1$, $\beta^i = 0$, $\gamma_{ij} = \delta_{ij} + h_{ij}$
then permuting...
$h_{ij} = \hat{h}_{ij} exp(i(\omega t - k x))$
$K_{ij} = \hat{K}_{ij} exp(i(\omega t - k x))$

Then the evolution equations become...
$\gamma_{ij,t} = -2 K_{ij}$
$K_{ij,t} = R_{ij} + K K_{ij} - 2 K_{ik} {K^k}_j$

The derivations of the spatial metric, when permuting the linear term alone, become...
$\Gamma_{ijk} = \frac{1}{2} (\gamma_{ij,k} + \gamma_{ik,j} - \gamma_{jk,i})$
$= \frac{1}{2} ( h_{ij,k} + h_{ik,j} - h_{jk,i})$
$= \frac{1}{2} ( h_{ij} k \delta^x_k + h_{ik} k \delta^x_j - h_{jk} k \delta^x_i)$
...and...
${\Gamma^i}_{jk} = \gamma^{il} \Gamma_{ljk}$
$= \frac{1}{2} ( {h^i}_j k \delta^x_k + {h^i}_k k \delta^x_j - h_{jk} k \gamma^{xi})$
...which involves a transformed $h_{ij}$ so should get interesting...

(note Bona, Ledvinka, Palenzuela, Zacek 2004 do the same trick with Z4.
They do use the linearized metric $h_{ij}$ for $\gamma_{ij} = \delta_{ij} + h_{ij}$, but just call it $\hat{\gamma}_{ij}$ instead of $\hat{h}_{ij}$.
They also permute $\alpha$ in the same way: $\alpha = 1 + \hat{\alpha} exp(i \omega x)$.
They also only permute in space, not time. No use of $exp(i (k x - \omega t))$.

How about verifying the eigenfields of one of the formalisms.
Start with the first Bona-Masso 1997 ADM.
