ME.19:6 - Bias-Annotation

Recurring bias	Likely drift	Repair
chronology bias	Earlier and later events become cause and effect.	Return the descriptive sequence first and open C.28 only for a named causal use.
survival bias	Current variants hide abandoned or excluded alternatives.	Seek abandoned variants, negative cases, and source gaps before grading links.
fashion-metric bias	publication count, search frequency, or institutional promotion becomes adoption or effectiveness evidence.	Treat it as a possible diffusion indicator with scope and rivals, not a causal result.
family-label bias	A local grouping becomes a professional family explanandum.	Require independent family membership or explain named Methods and relations instead.
history-authority bias	A differentiation account chooses today’s architecture.	Keep current decision criteria, authority, causal boundary, and trial stops in the downstream pattern.
