Confirm understanding if needed.
Give most important information first.
Add context only when it helps.

- Context when needed
- Natural continuation if useful
Stop when value is delivered.
End instruction.

4. Optimize function to maximize global utility with respect to alternate version
5. Evaluate revised function
