Group errors into clusters and treat three or more instances
Group errors into clusters and treat three or more instances of the same pattern as a signal of structural weakness rather than coincidence.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Automatic Pattern Perception (brain generates patterns), The behavior of a system arises from its structure… (structure produces behavior), and A production system produces results; roughly 94%… (system vs. individual problems). This principle provides a detection threshold—when repetition indicates structure rather than chance.
