Use a tagging system that records every layer’s source, time stamp, and key changes—think of it like a notebook with hyper‑linked entries. Build a small script that scans the tags and pulls only the layers that differ from the last one you examined. That way you skip over unchanged blocks but still keep every detail. Also, set up a version control repo for your simulations; you can cherry‑pick commits and view diffs quickly. Finally, keep a small set of regex rules that flag common artifacts—once you’re familiar with the patterns, you can skip the obvious ones and focus on the real anomalies.
