Even more than that. With Structured Outputs we essentially control layout of the response, so we can force LLM to go through different parts of the completion in a predefined order. One way teams exploit that - force LLM to go through a predefined task-specific checklist before answering. This custom hard-coded chain of thought boosts the accuracy and makes reasoning more auditable.
