A.1.RI:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Failure in these situations	Consequence	Repair
Treat a reused label as uninterrupted object continuity	Resource totals or actions can be assigned to another run or object.	Apply the relevant lifecycle or continuity rule to the available observations.
Accept a plausible pair without its shared constraints	Another object loses its only possible observation.	Compare the complete associations that must hold together.
Report the best-ranked connection as the only possible one	A scoring preference becomes an unsupported identification.	Keep the ranking assumption and test alternatives when uniqueness matters.
Require identity resolution for an invariant aggregate	Additional observation delays a result already determined.	Evaluate the receiving quantity across the surviving associations.
Treat a failed model as evidence that one convenient association is true	Contradictory observations or rules remain hidden in later reasoning.	Locate the incompatible premise or observation and repair that contribution.
