DOCA.5:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-pattern	Why it fails	Repair
Every box is feasible, so the chain is feasible	Boxes may consume the same resource or fail to establish the next starting condition.	Qualify the joint transition on one timing and resource basis.
Missing evidence means impossible	An unanswered premise is treated as a negative result.	Return the exact conditional claim and qualifying question.
Known conflict remains “conditional”	A ruled-out combination keeps circulating as if confirmation alone could rescue it.	Reject or revise the affected configuration explicitly.
Delay one step and the conflict disappears	Earlier steps may leave continuing demands, and the original horizon may no longer fit.	Reconstruct the later starting configuration and joint limits.
A test proves development	Supported recovery or benchmark success is treated as transferable capability.	Return to the holder practice for the exact development or transfer result.
Reachable means authorized	Feasibility is used as permission or recommendation.	Keep the choice, mandate, probe exposure, and execution result separate.
