If the value came from a bill, file, worksheet, statement, app screen or handwritten note, copy it carefully before changing any other setting.

This shows whether the final browser workflow is stable or whether one small assumption moves the answer enough to matter.

Mixing the output format from one situation with the validation result from another.
Changing several inputs at once and losing track of the cause.
