ME.1:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-pattern	Repair
“The process failed, so change the Method.”	Identify the result, Work, view, Method, and non-Method conditions before selecting the subject.
“These methods are our family.”	Use a local grouping unless governed membership is independently established.
“The tracker shows the real process.”	Recover what the recorded claims concern and their coverage and loss; a tracker label establishes neither a Method nor a view.
“Several contributors imply one composite.”	Return a Method-relation focus and send a proposed whole to ME.7 only when that later question is live.
“Choose the smallest item.”	Choose the smallest decision-changing subject, which may be a relation focus rather than one operation.
