ME.5:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternRepair
“This account fits, so it is a Method.”Retain or exclude the account and send identity to A.3.1.
“All individual Methods pass, so the architecture is compatible.”State the unresolved combined structure and use ME.6 only when it changes the decision.
“The adapter works, so integration is solved.”Bound the adapter-feasibility result; compare placement, versioning, responsibility, and failure in ME.6.
“Use the same checklist for every subject.”Ask only applicable questions but preserve the common result positions needed by the decision.
“More evidence is always safer.”Select evidence by consequence and claim; stop when the bounded decision can be made honestly.
