Name the readings apart, each ending in what it would build or do differently. As short as they go with nothing that tells them apart lost — plain words. Then ask the user to pick.

One exchange: readings out, pick back. If the user cannot pick, the words are not the problem — stop.

Take the pick as the confirmed ask and restate it. As short as it goes with nothing in the ask lost.

The ask is already concrete and the pull is to keep questioning its decisions → use interrogate skill. The user holds something no reading of their words captures → use elicit skill.
