Decide before doing.
The brief asks for a guide that does more than assemble instructions. It needs to help a reader recognise when the task is suitable and when to seek a qualified repair professional.
The editorial choice is to put that decision before the tools. The sample below demonstrates the structure of the explanation; it is not a complete repair procedure.

The claim
A useful repair guide begins with a decision, not a tool list.
This is the proposition that the following example must support.
Evidence that supports the claim
In this fictional guide, the reader first checks whether a loose chair joint moves when lightly pressed. A cracked rail or a joint that will not align sends the reader to a repair professional before any glue is opened.
The two conditions show why a decision comes before materials. This is evidence inside the fictional sample, not research or a real outcome.
A transition built from that evidence
That distinction sets the order of the article: assess the chair, decide whether the repair is suitable, then gather the materials for the chosen route.
“That distinction” refers back to the repair conditions. It connects them to the article’s sequence.
