Decision Question
Should Engineer B seek clarification of the franchiser's reasons for the confidentiality instruction before accepting the peer review engagement, or accept the engagement as structured and manage the resulting conflict between faithful agency and peer notification obligations after the fact?
Focus
Engineer B: Pre-Engagement Clarification Obligation — Whether to Seek Clarification of Confidentiality Instruction Before Accepting the Engagement
Option1
Before accepting the franchiser's engagement, ask the franchiser to explain the business reason for the confidentiality instruction and negotiate engagement terms that permit at minimum the minimum disclosure required by Section III.8.a, conditioning acceptance on a satisfactory resolution of the conflict.
Option2
Accept the engagement as structured, treating the confidentiality instruction as a standard client direction within the faithful agent framework, and address any conflict with the peer notification obligation at the point it becomes operationally unavoidable during or after the review.
Option3
Decline to accept the engagement at all unless the franchiser withdraws the confidentiality instruction, on the ground that an engagement structured to make simultaneous compliance with both the faithful agent duty and the peer notification obligation impossible should not be accepted by a professionally responsible engineer.
