E.17.AUD:6 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
Anti-pattern
Why it fails
How to avoid it
Fixing one sentence while the whole unit already carries a quiet interpretation shift
local repair is asked to carry whole-unit stabilization
check primary subject, carried publication move, and outside boundary to work, work planning, decision, gate, or reliance claim before repairing the sentence
Treating form labels as if they changed the publication unit under review
table, sheet, or screen is used as if it already named a different ontology or downstream claim or effect
treat those as presentation forms first; only leave this pattern when the problem situation itself changes
Laundering comparison through stability language
teams keep saying the unit is unstable when the active problem situation is already bounded comparison
apply E.17.ID.CR ComparativeReviewUnit and name the exact source publications
Laundering downstream decision or reliance through clearer prose
a better-written note is over-read as if it had become an approval, gate, work, or reliance text
keep the outside boundary to work, work planning, decision, gate, or reliance claim explicit and leave this pattern when downstream claim or effect appears
Letting three repair choices act at once
lexical-head repair, whole-unit stabilization, and a neighboring-pattern application are patched in parallel with no shared primary-subject interpretation
use the working card first and name one current repair choice before patching the unit
