Match Reasoning
Via class 'Error Acknowledgment Cooperation Obligation': This obligation is a contextual extension of the Error Acknowledgment class, adding the cooperation-with-corrective-process dimension that the base class does not fully capture. It is a medium-confidence match to the existing class, with the cooperation element as the distinguishing qualifier.

Engineers must take responsibility for their actions, must acknowledge their errors, must act in the best interests of their clients, and must at all times hold paramount the health, welfare, and safety of the public.
The known design defects in the first tower simply makes each of those requirements more urgent.
Under the facts, the Board concludes that it would be unethical for Engineer A to fail to cooperate.
