IN20 Antigoals & Anti-Patterns Catalog

IN20 Antigoals & Anti-Patterns Catalog

Apply the IN20 Antigoals & Anti-Patterns Catalog transformation to document failure modes to avoid rather than success patterns to emulate.

What is IN20?

IN20 (Antigoals & Anti-Patterns Catalog) Document failure modes to avoid rather than success patterns to emulate.

When to Use IN20

Ideal Situations

• Stress-test a plan by reversing assumptions
• Identify risks by imagining failure states
• Simplify outcomes by removing unnecessary elements

Trigger Questions

• "How can we use Antigoals & Anti-Patterns Catalog here?"
• "What changes if we apply IN20 to this risk assessment for a launch?"
• "Which assumptions does IN20 help us surface?"

The IN20 Process

Step 1: Define the focus

// Using IN20 (Antigoals & Anti-Patterns Catalog) - Establish the focus
const focus = "Document failure modes to avoid rather than success patterns to emulate";

Step 2: Apply the model

// Using IN20 (Antigoals & Anti-Patterns Catalog) - Apply the transformation
const output = applyModel("IN20", focus);

Step 3: Synthesize outcomes

// Using IN20 (Antigoals & Anti-Patterns Catalog) - Capture insights and decisions
const insights = summarize(output);

Practical Example

// Using IN20 (Antigoals & Anti-Patterns Catalog) - Example in a risk assessment for a launch
const result = applyModel("IN20", "Document failure modes to avoid rather than success patterns to emulate" );

Integration with Other Transformations

• IN20 -> P1: Pair with P1 when sequencing matters.
• IN20 -> DE3: Use DE3 to validate or stress-test.
• IN20 -> SY8: Apply SY8 to compose the output.

Implementation Checklist

• Identify the context that requires IN20
• Apply the model using explicit IN20 references
• Document assumptions and outputs
• Confirm alignment with stakeholders or owners

Common Pitfalls

• Treating the model as a checklist instead of a lens
• Skipping documentation of assumptions or rationale
• Over-applying the model without validating impact

Best Practices

• Use explicit IN20 references in comments and docs
• Keep the output focused and actionable
• Combine with adjacent transformations when needed

Measurement and Success

• Clearer decisions and fewer unresolved assumptions
• Faster alignment across stakeholders
• Reusable artifacts for future iterations
