Single-Turn Comprehensiveness

Generating all clarifying questions at once, rather than through multiple back-and-forth exchanges.

Multi-turn clarification introduces overhead: cognitive load, context drift, and user fatigue. Each additional turn increases the chance the user abandons the interaction or provides inconsistent information.

Single-turn questioning lets users see all dimensions at once, consider interdependencies between answers, and provide more coherent responses. It’s more efficient for both parties.

The tradeoff: single-turn can feel overwhelming if there are too many questions. Quality control, limiting to essential questions, becomes critical.
