The first sequence is best:

1) Identify why the current question is not generating good results.
2) Determine the most interesting evidence you collected.
3) Write a new question focused on that evidence.

Rationale: diagnose the problem so you don’t repeat it, select the strongest/most relevant data to build on, then craft a specific, testable question targeted to that evidence. Tips when rewriting: make it clear and narrow, specify variables/scope/timeframe, ensure it’s measurable and feasible, and tie it to the literature or purpose of the study.
