Before deciding what to do, explicitly identify what would be catastrophically wrong and permanently avoid those paths. The question 'what should I avoid?' is more robust than 'what should I do?' because failure modes are far more stable than success paths. You don't need to find the optimal path—you need to eliminate the catastrophic ones and then evaluate what remains. The negative defines the training target.
