Before choosing the preferred model, make the decision auditable: create a model_comparison sheet listing diagnostics for each candidate, highlight any models with heteroskedastic or non-normal residuals, add a short justification for preferring one model over another, and include plots that reveal influential observations.
when the reply comes backPush once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part, and to say what it assumed.
