# When something misses the mark

| Problem | Likely cause | Exact next action |
|---|---|---|
| Generic writing | Broad reader or no original material | Add one real customer question and 3–5 owned notes to the task brief. Ask for one actionable point. |
| Wrong tone | Voice file has adjectives but no samples | Add two owned samples and explain why they fit. Ask for phrase-level edits. |
| Invented result | Evidence gap | Mark that field UNKNOWN. Ask the agent to remove unverified claims. |
| Wrong price/link | Old context | Replace the Brain in both workspaces. Start a fresh task and ask it to repeat the exact approved price and URL. |
| Agent ignores an MD file | File missing, rejected or not retrieved | Extract ZIP, upload individual files, and ask for file names and versions. Paste critical rules directly if needed. |
| Gemini rejects a file | File type or plan limit | Save a .txt copy or paste the content. Read current official help for limits. |
| Two agents disagree | Different Brain versions | Use the same master files and approved handoff in both. They do not sync automatically. |
| Image text is wrong | Generated lettering | Generate the image area without text. Add editable text in your design tool. |
| Logo is distorted | Model redrew it | Remove generated logo and place the original logo asset at its original proportions. |
| Overcrowded visual | Too much writing on the image | Keep one headline and one supporting line. Leave detail in the caption. |
| No real artwork returned | Brief mistaken for a finished asset | Open your design tool and follow the build steps. Upload the export for review. |
| Automatic posting does not happen | No publishing connection installed | Use your usual manual publishing process. Connected automation is separate setup. |
| No time saved | Setup/review work exceeds repeated work avoided | Record actual times across several comparable tasks. Narrow the job before adding more tools. |

Change one input at a time. Keep the output, failed check and fix in the same task folder. That record becomes a useful example for the next run.
