What it requires. A free-text field grounded into a prompt where values are so dispersed that retrieval cannot rank them.
Why it matters. Free text with no controlled vocabulary gives retrieval nothing to match on, so what surfaces is close to arbitrary and varies between otherwise identical questions.
How to fix it. Introduce a controlled field alongside the free text and ground on that, keeping the free text for the human reader.
