OPS.8.2:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Mistake	What fails	Repair
Filling every idle interval	Protection disappears when the call arrives.	Recover the protected service and fit the whole return before promising the interval.
Treating priority as interruptibility	An indivisible operation or retained allocation prevents recall.	Identify the actual stopping and resource-release mechanism.
Ending the calculation at “paused”	Travel, cleanup or restoration delays readiness.	Calculate through the first ready protected action.
Fitting duration without fitting calendars	A needed setter or handover participant is unavailable.	Place return operations with their required resources.
Treating an easy-to-stop lesson as capability gained	An operating fit substitutes for practice and transfer.	Retain HCD’s learning and capability question separately.
Counting only the first successful return	Repeated transitions damage auxiliary progress or sustained service.	Compare the whole relevant operating interval and its actual burden.
