A useful challenge set explains why every important slice exists and which behavior boundary it exercises. Case Construction Patterns provide reusable ways to instantiate a behavior problem.

They guide how candidate responses should vary—for example, changing evidence quality or reasoning approach—without serving as a coverage taxonomy or an automatically accepted collection of variants."}]}
