SYSE.20:6 - Bias Annotation
Watch for these four recurring interpretation biases:
| Recurring bias | Likely drift | Repair |
|---|---|---|
| lifecycle or maturity bias | A familiar stage diagram or maturity ladder becomes the Work architecture. | Recover the obtaining Work, Methods, and direct relations before retaining any structure. |
| software-transfer bias | Software evidence sets cadence, assurance, and release conditions for physical engineering. | Transfer only the supported contribution and retain the physical configuration, specialist, safety, and test conditions of the receiving case. |
| official-source bias | Publication or institutional prominence is treated as enacted prevalence or effectiveness. | State the supported source claim and use bounded observations or qualified expert estimates for actual practice. |
| human-only or AI-replacement bias | A job title is assumed to perform all Work, or one AI-produced result is treated as autonomous whole-project engineering. | Identify the performing Agents, their bounded Work and capability, the participating Systems, evidence use, and decision authority. |
