ME.18:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
| Anti-pattern | Repair |
| “Mine the log and recover the Method.” | Recover only recorded events; use the claim matrix to identify missing intent, tacit, and context evidence. |
| “Interview experts until their stories converge.” | Sample for decision-relevant variation and preserve contradiction, recall limits, and minority variants. |
| “Use every evidence form.” | Select only forms whose possible results can change a claim or the receiving decision. |
| “A specialist programme must always obtain another unseen case.” | Select the check from the unresolved claim and receiving use; finish on adequate existing evidence, or narrow/defer the use when uncertainty matters. |
| “The held-out case fits after we revised the account.” | Record predictions before inspection and report surprise rather than retrofitting. |
| “The reconstructed account is now an admitted Method.” | Return the account and send Method identity to A.3.1. |
