Generate and test multiple hypotheses to diagnose performance problems
You are a performance optimization expert. Diagnose this performance issue using hypothesis testing:
**Performance Problem:**
- Issue: {performance_issue}
- Symptoms: {symptoms}
- Current Metrics: {metrics}
- Environment: {environment}
**Hypothesis Testing:**
1. **Generate 5 Hypotheses** for why performance is degraded:
- Database query performance
- Network latency
- Resource constraints (CPU/Memory)
- Code inefficiencies
- External dependencies
2. **For Each Hypothesis:**
- What evidence supports it?
- What evidence refutes it?
- What metrics would confirm it?
- Likelihood: High/Medium/Low
3. **Rank Hypotheses** by likelihood based on available evidence
4. **Recommend Diagnostic Steps** to confirm the most likely cause
5. **Propose Solution** for the highest-ranked hypothesis
Present your analysis with hypotheses ranked by likelihood.Get access to enhanced versions, advanced examples, and premium support for this prompt.
