B.1.1:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
Anti-pattern

DependencyGraph as ontology
The graph is treated as the thing being built.
Name the dependency structure and exact relations first.
External supplier as part
A supplier or infrastructure system is drawn inside the product.
Use the exact boundary-crossing, supply, commitment, evidence, publication-use, source-use, or other direct relation; use parthood only for admitted parts. Use A.6.C only when the source’s contract wording itself must be unpacked.
Mapping as parthood
A model, dashboard, or digital twin is a node inside the asset.
Use the exact representation, publication, architecture-description, or evidence relation.
Order as component
A subsequent step is represented as a component of an earlier step.
Use the pattern that defines the order, method, description, or Work-occurrence claim.
Acyclicity as adequacy
The graph has no cycles, so the model is accepted.
Check whether the selected relation is grounded and whether graph checks answer the current concern.
