ME.2:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternRepair
“The repository contains 40 Methods.”Reclassify exact entries; count only Methods already identified under A.3.1.
“These practices share a history, so they form one family.”Separate the supported lineage relation from the independently governed family question.
“Version 3 supersedes version 2, so it is better.”Record edition succession and compare the decision-bearing contribution under its own evidence.
“We observed the procedure, so the Method belongs in the repertoire.”Keep the observation as occurrence evidence or a candidate account until Method identification.
“A blank row makes the repertoire incomplete and unusable.”Name the missing position and whether it blocks, weakens, or does not affect the receiving use.
