Case context
The evolved NSPE standard requires disclosure and management of conflicts rather than absolute avoidance. WXY's three active contracts create a known potential conflict that must be disclosed to City H under the current standard, even if the conflict may be partially mitigated by the absence of private-client work.

Obligation statement
Engineer A and WXY Engineers are obligated to comply with the current evolved conflict-of-interest disclosure standard — promptly disclosing all known or potential conflicts arising from WXY's three active city contracts to City H — rather than treating the conflict as either automatically disqualifying (old avoidance standard) or manageable without disclosure (inadequate standard).
Temporal scope
Upon being considered for the city engineer appointment and throughout any appointment period
