# Unclear Cases and unrealistic synthesis

## Symptom

Experts cannot interpret a Case consistently, or a generated situation does not fit its intended context.

## Likely causes

| What you observe | Focused guide |
| --- | --- |
| The input lacks controlling context | [Unclear Cases](/docs/troubleshooting/unclear-cases) |
| A generated Case conflicts with its source assumptions | [Synthetic Cases That Feel Unrealistic](/docs/troubleshooting/unrealistic-synthetic-cases) |

## Fix

Read the input, supplied materials, and intended coverage distinction. Clarify the missing condition or source, then inspect the revised candidate before admitting it to the benchmark. A fluent answer does not repair an incoherent Case.

Follow the focused guide for the actual state you observe; keep accepted records and explicit human decisions intact.

## Prevention

Preserve exact object and version identities, review the relevant source context, and inspect the accepted state before comparing outcomes.
