Humans share stories.

Humans use metaphors.

Humans convey images.

In doing so, they provide a choice between a framework and its instructions.

In considering the meaning of the shared story, metaphor, or image in the given context, they become a framework. When executing what is shared in the story, following the metaphor, and seeking the image, they become instructions.

A best practice is a story of how others solved a problem. Copying it may be useful and possible. But most of the time it must first be understood why it became a best practice for those sharing it. The challenges you are experiencing might be different ones.
