ME.3:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-pattern	Repair
“Our five Method Content Theory fields are the Method requirements.”	Use the five fields as source questions, then place each answer with its actual subject.
“The product requirement proves this Method fits.”	Keep the receiving-result condition separate and evaluate the Method contribution later.
“The team is experienced, so assignment, authority, and access are covered.”	Record capability, responsibility, provider access, covering assignment, permission, direct decision authority, performed Work, and decision result as separate conditions with evidence.
“Candidate A satisfies more criteria, so it wins.”	Preserve non-negotiable failures, unknowns, and trade-offs; use the applicable decision Method after qualification.
“Each Method stays within its burden, so the architecture fits.”	Compare combined peak demand, overlap, and transferred burden in ME.6.
