The pattern that changes everything

A weak prompt describes a symptom. A strong prompt describes the system, the symptom, what changed, what you already tried, and what decision you are trying to make.

My [system] is [symptom]. It started [when] after [what changed].I already tried [attempts]. The house is [age/type/climate].Give me the three most likely causes ranked by likelihood,the cheapest test that separates them, and tell me plainlywhich ones are not DIY.
