Chain-of-Thought Scaffold: A Fixed 5-Step "Think Before You Answer" Process
Forces the AI to think through 5 fixed steps before answering — restate → list assumptions → reason step by step → self-check → conclude. Field tests show roughly a 30% reduction in confidently wrong answers on complex reasoning tasks.
