DOCA.3:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternWhy it failsRepair
“We need a tool” as problemThe answer is embedded before the receiving failure is understood.Name the missing result and retain different ways of contributing.
Niche equals demandA possible fit does not establish that its difference matters.Obtain the receiving-use evidence or keep a hypothesis.
Faster approval by implicationQualification support is promoted into an unproved benefit and authority claim.State the inspectable contribution and qualify stronger benefits separately.
Offer equals commitmentThe content of an offer is mistaken for an obtaining provider relation.Identify the promise source and separately establish any commitment or provision.
One sponsor speaks for everyoneEffects and conflicting interests disappear.Preserve attributed concerns and consequential missing voices or evidence.
Unreachable therefore worthlessMissing support is allowed to erase a genuine receiving problem.Retain the problem and return the exact direction or reachability gap.
