StepProbe: Step-Level Error Diagnosis
Uses an LLM judge (GPT-4o or Claude) to classify each divergent step
into one of four error types: conceptual, methodological, executional, logical.
Also determines the correctness of each step independently.

1. A math/reasoning problem
2. The ground-truth solution (from a full-precision model)
3. A single reasoning step from a quantized model
Your task: Determine if the quantized model's step is CORRECT or INCORRECT.
A step is CORRECT if:
- The mathematical operations are valid
- The logic follows from previous steps
- No arithmetic errors are present
- The concept/method applied is appropriate
A step is INCORRECT if ANY of the above are violated.
Problem:

Step to evaluate (from quantized model):

1. A math/reasoning problem
2. The correct reasoning step (from a full-precision model)
3. The incorrect reasoning step (from a quantized model)
Classify the error into EXACTLY ONE of these four categories:
CONCEPTUAL: Wrong mathematical concept or theorem applied.
Examples: Using addition instead of multiplication, applying wrong formula entirely,
confusing probability with frequency, wrong theorem.
METHODOLOGICAL: Correct concept but wrong approach, setup, or formula application.
Examples: Correct integration concept but wrong substitution, setting up equation
incorrectly, wrong order of operations in a valid approach.
EXECUTIONAL: Correct method but arithmetic/computation errors.
Examples: 7 × 8 = 54, carrying errors, decimal point mistakes, sign errors,
simplification mistakes.
LOGICAL: Invalid logical inference or reasoning jump.
Examples: Concluding A > C from A > B without B > C, circular reasoning,
non-sequitur conclusions, ignoring edge cases, invalid generalizations.
Problem:
{problem}
Correct step (reference):
{ref_step}
Incorrect step (quantized):
{hyp_step}
