The direct answer

Several equally prominent buttons can make the next step harder to choose. Distinguish advice, assessment and a known repair request.

Start with the evidence

Read each action as a first-time visitor and predict its destination. Look for buttons with different labels that lead to an identical unexplained form.

Make the change deliberately

Give the main task a clear primary action and explain alternatives briefly. Keep direct project discussion available when an audit is not a prerequisite.
