# DSPy Output Refinement & Constraints

## Goal

Improve output quality using iterative refinement (dspy.Refine) and best-of-N selection (dspy.BestOfN) with custom constraint validation.

## When to Use

- Outputs need format validation (JSON, specific structure)
- Length constraints (max tokens, word count)
- Content requirements (must include X, avoid Y)
- Quality improvement through multiple attempts
- Replacing deprecated Assert/Suggest patterns
