Not sure how to start? Tell me what you're trying to get done and I'll help you turn it into a clear request. Goal: Fill out this long multi-step web form, checking each step against my list. Quick check first: Do you have the list of steps and all the answers ready? What I need from you: - The link to the form - Your step-by-step list and the answer for each field Rules: - Work through the steps in order. After each step, compare what's on screen with my list before you move on. - If a click doesn't work (small buttons, dropdowns), try once more, scroll or zoom, then tell me the step number instead of guessing. - If something doesn't match my list, fix it before moving on. - If a page asks for a login or captcha, pause and let me handle it. - Stop before the final submit so I can review. Output: The form completed up to submission, plus a list of any step you had to correct or couldn't do. If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps. You'll know it worked when: every step matches your list and the form is ready to submit.
