The test
Can you fix it without affecting anything else in the plan?
☐ Yes → small fix. Fix it, move on. Normal hygiene.
☐ No → structural. Do not patch. Trace it.
Where structural problems come from
| Symptom | Trace to |
|---|---|
| Correct in pieces, generic as a whole; no centre of gravity | Step 1 — end state not specific about audience or texture |
| Everything is correct and it still doesn't feel right | Step 1 — end state too abstract |
| The plan conflicts with itself; numbers don't add up across tasks | Step 2 (flow) or Step 3 (incompatible assumptions) |
| AI output poor for a whole section | Step 5 (context, criteria) or Step 4 (wrong tool) |
The problem
Traced to step ___ . Tasks to redo:
Iteration is not failure. It is the framework working as designed.
