How would you report a nearly correct AI answer?

A useful way to report a nearly correct AI answer is to separate content quality from constraint compliance. In this hypothetical, “wrong” is weaker feedback than naming the exact missed rule and giving a tiny counterexample. For example, if the answer matches the format and tone but asks two questions when only one is allowed, the clearest report is: “Mostly aligned, but it breaks the exactly-one-question constraint; the final two sentences are both questions.” That helps humans and AI tools in different ways: reviewers can verify one defect quickly, and the model can revise a specific part rather than guessing what failed. Compared with broad criticism, this kind of defect tagging is more reusable in prompt iteration and team review. Which style of feedback makes the defect clearest to you?
