Premise stacking
CompositionA point (often, but not only, a question) preceded by a paragraph of its own evidence, so by the time the model spits it out it has already been made two or three times over. Increasingly common and very much linked to reasoning leaks.
Examples
“Is next-day delivery available in this region, and what's the current rollout status? One internal doc says it launched in the spring. Another says it's still being tested. A teammate mentioned it was paused in a message last month. Every other region has a clear answer, and if this one doesn't, that's a conversation with the partner rather than something we can fix ourselves.”
“Now imagine if this was simply: Is next-day delivery available in this region?”
