Sequential Thinking

Use for complex problems requiring structured analysis before solution.

Pattern

Thought 1/N: [Initial analysis — observations, assumptions]
Thought 2/N: [Build on previous — deeper analysis, connections]
Thought 3/N [REVISION of 1]: [Correct earlier assumptions — what was wrong, corrected view]
Thought 4/N [BRANCH A]: [Alternative approach — different angle, trade-offs]
Thought 5/N [FINAL]: [Synthesize solution — recommended approach, key decisions]
