| “We always run this workshop.” | Recover the required result and compare one serious sufficient alternative. |
| “The agenda is the Method.” | State the reusable action and applicability separately from dated scheduling. |
| “The techniques appear in order, so they compose.” | Test actual dependence, part-Method identity, whole action, and joins. |
| “The qualitative output can be scored numerically.” | Identify the extra elicitation, measurement, or model assumptions; otherwise retain the qualitative result. |
| “The method worked elsewhere.” | Carry the source’s subjects, conditions, evidence limits, and actual contribution into this selection. |
| “A shorter deadline removes the need for that input.” | Narrow the declared return or stop; do not mark the missing contribution as completed. |
