These cases test when sampling, branch search, observation loops, decomposition, and deterministic evaluation help. Select the check that owns the final decision.
Lessons
- Self-consistency: sample answers, then verify the winner
- Tree of Thoughts: branch only where a decision can be checked
- ReAct: alternate tool actions with checked observations
- Least-to-most prompting: solve smaller dependencies first
- Program-aided prompting: make computation executable and bounded
