Interpretation
Engineer B's disclosure of 'the circumstances of the project' and willingness to answer all questions reflects compliance with the truthfulness and completeness obligations that attach to this hybrid advocacy-objectivity role.
Invoked by
Engineer B Professional Society Endorsement Soliciting Engineer
Tension resolution
