PSDA.14:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternRepair
Copy the highest score into “we recommend”Recover the candidate domain, preference/evidence conditions and decision-support inference; retain a partial order when that is all they support.
Make a stronger recommendation by omitting an inconvenient branchState the compared subset and the unclosed alternative or objection, with its effect on the answer.
Treat a specialist answer as the whole advicePreserve supplier scope and compose only the inference that this recipient’s question still needs.
Use a probe as the default answer to uncertaintyName the decision-changing question, feasible evidence, exposure, delay and stop before recommending the probe.
Turn delivery or agreement into authorizationObtain the later choice and authority evidence separately; repair understanding without seeking manufactured consent.
Offer a universal development prescriptionRecover holder-specific premises; return the smallest gap where human, organization and AI evidence differ.
Hide a blocker behind a long reportLead with what cannot yet be responsibly recommended and the exact result that could change it.
