When examples are too vague to teach anything, another broad rewrite or another batch of output may leave the underlying problem intact. Diagnose the relevant failure before changing the whole process.

Find the likely cause

The draft names a business without showing a decision.

Treat this as an explanation to verify against the actual work. Look at the input, the relevant decision, and the final result together. If the evidence does not support this diagnosis, investigate the mismatch before applying a convenient but unrelated fix.

Make the targeted correction

Add the constraint, alternatives, and reason for the chosen action.

Examples make advice usable when they reveal how a decision changes under specific conditions.

Check that the repair worked

Ask what the reader learns from the example that the general advice omitted.

Repeat the check on the final version that the reader or customer will encounter. An approved draft, a preview, and a published result can differ; the acceptance decision should concern the version people actually use.

Prevent the next related failure

A separate issue to watch for is this: an example works only under hidden assumptions. Specify the relevant audience, resources, and limits.

Monitor the useful outcome

Evaluate whether readers can apply the principle to a new but related situation.

Keep a short record of the original symptom, the evidence behind the diagnosis, and the result of the acceptance check. That record makes the solution reusable when the same condition appears again, without assuming that every superficially similar problem has the same cause.
