OPS.6:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternFailureRepair
workflow transition equals progressA representation substitutes for changed case state.Require independently supported Work and resulting evidence.
selected action equals WorkA choice or instruction becomes a performance claim.Name performer and admit the dated Work separately.
agent ran, therefore case advancedInvocation and output hide authority, integration, and subject evidence.Preserve episode, Work, artifact, test, integration, decision, and state distinctions.
generic exception handlerOne fallback overrides domain Methods and specialist returns.Recover the applicable Method and exact unmet condition.
chooser-performer collapseDecision authority, assignment, capability, and performance become one relation.Name and support each relation independently.
stale authorization carryoverPermission survives changed conditions by default.Revalidate exact matter, configuration, horizon, and effective conditions.
endless analysisNo responsible performer, stop, evidence expectation, or return is stated.Produce the executable continuation contract or a blocker return.
