D.1:7 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
| Anti-pattern | What goes wrong | Repair |
| Neutrality theater | The work claims to avoid ethics by naming only technical evidence or method quality. | Recover the value concern or explicitly state that no ethical claim is being made. |
| Slogan ethics | Responsible, safe, humane, aligned, fair, or beneficial is used without affected parties and warranted use. | Name the affected parties, value concern, and intended claim; qualify the basis relied on. |
| Doctrine smuggling | A utilitarian, rights, duty, care, virtue, professional, or project-specific value frame is treated as obvious. | Name the value frame and the pattern for the stronger claim for any conflict. |
| Universal D.1 | D.1 is used to decide mediation, bias, causal fairness, or assurance. | Use D.3, D.4, D.5, C.28, A.10, B.3, or the subject pattern. |
