Lesson 14: Make the model show its work.
“Step-by-step” forces visible reasoning and slashes fabrication. For multi-factor legal tests, it is the difference between a conclusion you can audit and a black box you can’t trust.
Why this matters: Legal analysis IS structured reasoning — elements, factors, burdens. A model forced to walk each factor can’t skip to a lazy conclusion, and you can check every step like reviewing an associate’s draft. Halfway point: this is the skill that separates users from masters.
