Use an editor with folding and this is just unnecessary indirection and jumping around to read a linear series of steps that happen one after another. If a function is only called in one place, it should rarely be a function. It may help a small amount when viewing a stack trace, so you can tell at a glance without looking up the line and jumping to the section, if that is a big enough advantage, can make it a lambda and leave it all in place as long as the debugger/stack trace will list the lambda assignment name.
