D.4:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
Anti-pattern
What goes wrong
Repair
Decision-ready by map
The mapped conflict is treated as solved.
Choose a D.4 move: mediate, refuse, demand evidence, return, decide with residual, or stop.
Trump-card level
One level’s value automatically overrides all others.
Recover the affected sides through D.3 and compare their consequences and value premises through :2.1; a larger scale alone supplies no priority.
Unsupported stronger use
A decision or recommendation relies on a claim whose needed support is missing.
Qualify that claim and obtain the required basis for its use, or select a supported narrower continuation through C.11.DUA. An accepted residual does not make the missing claim true.
Permission by assurance
A passed assurance relation is treated as moral authorization.
