Every term in this category is listed as one record, with its kind, its definition and its aliases, the principles whose relations name it, the principle or contract that carries the same name where one exists, and the layer its category belongs to. A tag category also gives each term an example, which is the file the tag places or the rename from a refused word onto a covering tag. ### Ad-Hoc Notebook-to-Production - Kind: [anti-pattern](https://banes-lab.com/records/kind/anti-pattern.md) - Category: [Model Architecture](https://banes-lab.com/ontology/lexicon/lexicon-category-model-architecture.md) - Layer: [Correctness Core](https://banes-lab.com/records/layer/correctness-core.md) Details Definition Promoting exploratory notebook code straight to production without engineering it into a reliable pipeline.
