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

A result label mistaken for a Method. “Diagnose the error” or “AI will explain it” hides how the result would be obtained. Follow a relevant source Method on the available material and expose the missing connecting action or premise.

A tool priced against a service. One estimate excludes checking and recovery. Complete each way against the same receiving result before comparing.

Archive membership as current merit. An old possibility survives because it once taught the team something. State its present retention reason; remove a current-choice claim that has no support.

All alternatives scheduled together. Options that share one specialist become a portfolio by spreadsheet addition. Keep them alternative until joint feasibility and a joint-use choice have been examined.

Free flexibility. The team claims it can return to devices but drops the interfaces and instructions needed to do so. Retain the enabling contribution and its cost, or state that the option expires.
