Patterns and anti-patterns
Patterns are practices that help when tested. Anti-patterns are common, usually well-intentioned practices that create paperwork without improving the result.
Patterns
Machine prepares, human decides
Automate correlation, reconstruction, testing, and evidence assembly. Keep isolation, disclosure, notification, and risk acceptance with named people, and let authority move only as measured performance supports it.
Anti-patterns
Accepting a fluent AI report as an assessment
A polished report can sound surer than the facts allow. Require a source record for every generated claim so the reader can check it.
