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

Anti-pattern	Why it fails	Repair
New version means redo everything	Identity or formatting substitutes for changed meaning.	Compare the relevant claim and take the cheap stop when its use is unchanged.
The world stayed the same, so the correction is irrelevant	A changed claim can remove warranted support for the same world.	Requalify the receiving assertion that used it.
Follow every link	Citation and adjacency substitute for actual dependence.	Use the direct receiving claim and bounded discovery coverage.
Not found means unaffected	Inaccessible or unsearched receivers disappear from the conclusion.	Preserve the coverage gap and localize the result.
Narrow the label, keep the old estimate	A whole-use result is silently transferred to a different case mix or configuration.	Obtain the narrowed candidate’s own qualified comparison.
Correct the advice by rewriting its history	The earlier return can no longer be recovered.	Preserve it and identify the later correction and current reliance limit.
No new observation means no change	Failed observation is treated as a favourable result.	Return the missing evidence and its effect on current reliance.
Updated advice changes the operation	Recommendation is mistaken for an authorized decision or control rule.	Return the question to the actual choice or protection owner.
