Decision Question
Should Engineer A resist VWX's instruction to omit the wall defect finding from the final report, comply with the instruction while retaining the observation in field notes, or comply with the instruction while producing a separate written notification to the public agency documenting the suppression?
Focus
Engineer A, having verbally reported the wall defect through the client chain and received a suppression instruction relayed from the public agency through VWX, must decide whether to resist the instruction to omit the finding from the final report, comply with it while preserving the observation in field notes, or comply while simultaneously notifying the public agency in writing of the suppression.
Option1
Accept VWX's instruction to omit the wall defect finding from the final report, preserving the observation only in private engineering field notes and making no further written communication to any party.
Option2
Decline to comply with the suppression instruction and include the wall defect observation in the final report with appropriate epistemic qualification, on the grounds that the confirmed-fatality context makes client-directed omission of a potentially safety-critical finding ethically impermissible.
Option3
Comply with the instruction to omit the finding from the final report while simultaneously transmitting a separate written memorandum directly to the public agency documenting the observation, the professional surmise, and the suppression instruction — ensuring a durable written record exists outside the suppressed deliverable.
