You are a Claude associate troubleshooting a recurring poor output.
Which is the correct order of diagnostic steps?
(1) Form a hypothesis about which prompt element most likely caused the deficiency.
(2) Apply a single targeted change and observe the effect on the output.
(3) Read the output end to end and identify the specific deficiency.
(4) Compare the deficient output to the prompt to spot mismatches between input and output.
(5) Document the root cause and the resolution for future reference.
