- In short
- Matching scenarios to diagnosis and fix means applying the four-pattern framework and the diagnostic sequence together to a concrete description of underperforming output, in order to select the correct root cause and the remedy that follows from it. A summary that keeps missing undefined key points is under-specification, fixed by naming criteria. Format loss deep in a long chat is context overload, fixed by restarting from a summary or persisting the format. Shallow analysis on a speed-tier model is a wrong-model-tier problem, fixed by switching tiers, not adding prompt detail. Output that was fine last month and is now off, with an unchanged prompt, is stale configuration.
