Which approach is most likely to produce consistent outputs across many chats?

A. State Claude's role and the brand-voice attributes; let each writer specify the audience, tone constraints, and terminology requirements per chat to keep the configuration flexible. B. State Claude's role, the brand-voice attributes, and the audience; leave terminology to a glossary in the Project knowledge base rather than in the custom instructions. C. State Claude's role and provide a sample piece of approved brand-voice writing in the custom instructions, since one strong example carries the brand voice better than written rules. D. State Claude's role, summarize the brand-voice attributes, name the audience, list tone constraints, and require alignment with the brand's terminology.
