OPS.16:6 - Bias-Annotation

Recurring biasLikely driftWorking repair
novelty and solution biasThe proposed change is named as a Method version before identity is established.Begin from the admitted-Method or candidate-account branch and preserve it through the return.
success-story biasOne completed or favorable case becomes proof of effectiveness, fit, or worth.Type the direct observations and state each unsupported stronger use.
plan-completion biasA scheduled trial or configured tool is reported as performed Work.Keep WorkPlan, actual Work, supporting Systems, and direct results separate.
survivorship biasHeld, stopped, failed, or missing-evidence cases disappear from the trial account.Retain every trial-eligible disposition and the reason it did not produce a result.
measurement availability biasA visible cycle-time or usage measure becomes the improvement objective.Start from the operating decision and qualify the measure’s subject and use.
rollout biasPublication, training, access, or local use becomes organization-wide adoption.Limit the return to the named operating use; use OPS.20 only for a separate population-level cultural question.
tool-change biasA prompt, board field, model, or support change is called a new Method.Apply the reusable-semantics identity test and retain the actual changed object otherwise.
