SIG AI snippet 3: Apply methods stepwise
If your prompt includes many details, prompting them all at once may lead to errors and unsatisfactory output. Instead, apply your methods step by step.
For example, when you want an AI (e.g., Large Language Model) to execute an FMEA analysis, then do not ask it to do the FMEA analysis at once, but rather do it stepwise. First let the AI analyze the product´s structure and list the components. Then, you review this list of components and correct if needed. Then, you execute the next step, the function analysis, etc.
