http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#CompletenessandNon-SelectivityinProfessionalAdvisoryOpinions
Applied to
Presentation of route alternatives with comparative analysis
Route specification advisory recommendation to state client
Balancing with
Client preference for shortest route
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
Engineer A must present the state with a complete analysis of all workable route alternatives — not merely the shortest route — including longer alternatives that avoid the historic farmhouse, with full comparative analysis of travel time, property impacts, historic preservation implications, acquisition costs, and legal constraints
Confidence
0.92
Importance
high
Interpretation
The state, as a non-engineer client, lacks independent capacity to evaluate whether Engineer A has presented all workable alternatives. Engineer A's obligation of completeness requires presenting all technically viable options — including those that sacrifice some travel time savings to avoid historic property condemnation — so the state can make a genuinely informed route selection decision
Invoked by
Engineer A Route Selection Design Engineer
Tension resolution
Completeness requires presenting all alternatives; the state retains ultimate decision authority over which route to select, but must receive complete information to exercise that authority meaningfully
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A determines that the shortest workable route would save approximately 30 minutes from what would otherwise be a two-hour trip. However, in order to build the shortest route, the state would be required to address the impact to a historic family farmhouse that has existed for over 100 years on the land required for the route.
Text references

Engineer A is aware that the option exists for the state to exercise eminent domain and condemn the farmhouse
