Use numbers when order matters

Give the order in your notes.

For this task, your notes say: fold the note, put it in the envelope, then close the flap.

Ask for three numbered steps in that order. Check that no action moves, disappears or gets added.

If you do not know the right order, numbered text alone cannot prove it. Check the task instructions first.

Fold, put in, then close.

Made-up task notes: First fold the note. Next put it in the envelope. Last close the flap.

Keep these three actions in order.

Made-up notes: First place a sheet on the clipboard. Next write a heading. Last list two ideas. Ask for three numbered steps that keep this order.
