Decision question
Should Engineer A participate as a witness at the public safety standards hearing, and if so, under what epistemic and confidentiality constraints?
Focus
Engineer A Post-Employment Public Safety Hearing Participation Decision
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 proprietary Company X product data, explicitly framing all product-specific observations as reflecting conditions at the time of employment and acknowledging the one-year temporal gap
Option2
Participate as a witness at the public safety standards hearing and testify fully about all technically significant safety observations, including product-specific performance data, on the grounds that the public welfare paramount principle displaces the confidentiality obligation when a qualified engineer's judgment has been overruled in a regulatory vacuum and the hearing is the only available protective mechanism
Option3
Decline to participate as a witness at the public safety standards hearing on the grounds that the one-year temporal gap renders product-specific observations potentially unreliable, the confidentiality boundary cannot be reliably maintained without reducing testimony to useless abstraction, and the appearance of personal grievance from the resignation conflict cannot be adequately neutralized through self-imposed objectivity constraints alone
Role
Engineer A
