Decision question
Should Engineer A participate as a witness at the public safety standards hearing, and if so, under what epistemic and confidentiality constraints must that testimony be calibrated?
Focus
Engineer A's decision whether to participate as a witness at the government public safety standards hearing, one year after resigning from Company X, given good-faith safety concerns about the new consumer product that were rejected internally on cost and schedule grounds.
Option1
Participate as a witness at the public safety standards hearing, testifying about the category of safety concern and the nature of observed performance inconsistencies at a level of abstraction that avoids Company X's proprietary design details, explicitly framing testimony as professional judgment based on conditions observed during employment rather than as confirmed findings of current product danger
Option2
Decline to participate as a witness at the public safety standards hearing on the grounds that the one-year temporal gap, the absence of confirmed safety incidents, and the structural difficulty of separating safety observations from confidential product-specific knowledge make it impossible to testify in a manner that is simultaneously technically meaningful, objectively framed, and confidentiality-compliant
Option3
Participate as a witness at the public safety standards hearing and testify fully about all observed performance inconsistencies and internal testing data, treating the public safety paramount principle as displacing post-employment confidentiality obligations given the regulatory vacuum and the absence of any other institutional mechanism through which the safety concern can be surfaced
Role
Engineer A
