Spread & Escalation

Retry Makes the Problem Worse

A retry, repair attempt, regeneration, or follow-up instruction increases the error, expands the failure, or creates additional breakage instead of narrowing the problem.

Spread & Escalation

Review Escalates Without Stop Condition

A review process keeps escalating, re-reviewing, or adding scrutiny without a declared condition for stopping.

Workflow & Handoffs

Review Outcome Changes Unrelated Environment

A review result, approval, rejection, or classification changes state outside the environment, case, file, or workflow it was meant to govern.

Duplication & Overload

Review Queue Becomes Bottleneck

A review queue, approval path, or validation stage accumulates too much work and begins blocking the workflow.

Coverage & Guidance

Review Rubric Missing Required Criteria

A review rubric, grading rule, evaluation checklist, or classification standard lacks criteria required to make the review reliable.

Permissions & Approvals

Revoked Approval Still Treated as Active

An approval, permission, exception, or authorization that was revoked continues to affect AI behavior or workflow decisions as if it were still active.

Spread & Escalation

Risk Score Triggers Wrong Escalation

A risk score, severity label, confidence value, or threshold result triggers the wrong escalation path.

Spread & Escalation

Risk Signal Escalates Beyond Evidence

A risk signal, warning, score, or concern escalates farther than the available evidence supports.

Agents

Routing Overrides Task Intent

Routing, mode selection, agent behavior, or workflow classification sends the task down a path that overrides what the user was trying to accomplish.

Loops & Resolution

Routing Path Cycles Back to Start

A routing path sends the case back to the starting point or an earlier step without resolving the condition that caused the route.

Changes & Versions

Rubric Changed but Results Did Not

A review rubric, scoring rule, evaluation standard, or classification criterion changes, but AI results continue to reflect the old rubric.

Rules & Policies

Same Case Has Conflicting Policies

The same case appears to be governed by multiple policies, rules, or standards that point to incompatible outcomes.

Changes & Versions

Same Contract Name Has Different Meanings

The same prompt, schema, field, policy, tool, or workflow contract name is used in different places with different meanings.

Inconsistent Behavior

Same Instructions Allow Different Outputs

The same instructions are broad or underspecified enough to allow materially different outputs that all appear compliant.

Duplication & Overload

Same Rule Declared in Multiple Places

The same rule, constraint, instruction, or policy appears in multiple places, creating redundancy and possible drift.

Duplication & Overload

Same Workflow Check Happens Twice

The same review, validation, approval, routing, or safety check occurs more than once in the workflow without a clear reason.

Memory & Context

Saved Memory Not Used

A saved memory, preference, instruction, or durable context item exists but does not affect the AI output when it should.

Changes & Versions

Saved Reference No Longer Works

A saved source, citation, file reference, prompt reference, or workflow pointer previously worked but no longer resolves to the expected object or meaning.

Loops & Resolution

Schema Reference Loops Without Base Case

A schema, field, type, object, or structured reference points through a loop without a base case that allows validation or interpretation to resolve.

Spread & Escalation

Severity Increases Without New Evidence

The severity, risk, confidence, or escalation level increases even though no new evidence has been added.

Inconsistent Behavior

Similar Cases Route to Different Outcomes

Similar inputs, cases, prompts, or workflow states are routed to different outcomes without a declared difference that explains the split.

Duplication & Overload

Single Field Carries Too Many Obligations

One field, label, score, status, or structured value is expected to carry too many meanings, decisions, or workflow obligations.

Duplication & Overload

Single Step Carries Too Many Decisions

One prompt, workflow step, review stage, or agent action carries too many decisions for the system or user to evaluate cleanly.

Spread & Escalation

Small Change Produces Large Downstream Effects

A small prompt, schema, policy, output, or workflow change creates unexpectedly large effects in downstream steps.
