Case context
Engineer B signs and seals engineering documents produced by others working under Engineer B's direction and control using a CADD system, with the risk that reliance on the system could substitute for genuine supervisory oversight.

met
Confidence
0.87
Obligation statement
Engineer B was obligated to ensure that the CADD system used by subordinates served as a production tool under professional direction rather than as a substitute for Engineer B's own professional judgment and oversight, so that the seal reflected genuine intellectual and technical responsibility.
Temporal scope
Throughout the direction, review, and sealing of CADD-generated documents produced by subordinates
Match Confidence
0.92
Match Reasoning
Via class 'Technology Non-Substitution Obligation': This obligation is substantively identical to the Technology Tool Non-Substitution Obligation already extracted from prior sections of this case. The concept is the same: engineers must not allow CADD or similar tools to substitute for professional judgment. Matched at high confidence as the same class.

Text references
CADD utilized beyond its ability to serve as a valuable tool has a propensity to be utilized as a crutch or substitute for judgement.
The key point is that the engineer must utilize such systems to assist the engineer in the performance of professional services and not employ such systems as a replacement for professional competence and expertise.
