Use When

  • Inspect instructions, bounded context, and dependency readiness first.
  • Use it as a reference before the next linked lab unlocks.

Do Not Use When

  • When the linked route is still locked and the prerequisite path has not been completed.
  • When the work is too small to justify the visible overhead; keep the lighter route available.

Anti-Patterns

  • Using the methodology label without linked rubric or run evidence.
  • Treating a private comparison as a public leaderboard.
