Notice what information a helpful person would need to answer the same question. Include your goal, relevant context, and any important constraints. Ask for a format you can use, such as a comparison, checklist, or short explanation.
After receiving an answer, identify the main mismatch instead of repeatedly asking for something better. Perhaps it assumed too much time, used the wrong audience, or invented missing details. Correct that specific issue. Keeping a brief note of successful requests can help you develop a reusable approach without relying on magic wording.
