  "templateContent": "You are facilitating a root cause analysis. Problem statement: {{problem_statement}}\nKnown facts and timeline: {{known_facts}}\n\nUsing the five-whys method:\n1. Ask \"why\" iteratively (up to 5 times), grounded only in the facts given -- if a \"why\" answer would require information not provided, say what's missing instead of guessing.\n2. State the most likely root cause(s) once the chain is grounded in a systemic/process cause rather than a one-off human action.\n3. Propose 1-3 corrective actions that address the root cause, not just the symptom.\n4. Note any contributing factor that isn't the root cause but still worth fixing.",
