Properties
Instance of
CompletenessandNon-SelectivityinProfessionalAdvisoryOpinions
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#CompletenessandNon-SelectivityinProfessionalAdvisoryOpinions
Applied to
Engineer B's post-occupancy inspection report filed with the new facility owner
Balancing with
Client interest in cost-effective remediation
Engineer B commercial interest in expanded scope
Concrete expression
Engineer A alleged Engineer B's report did not include all pertinent information; however, the report's structure — finding no plumbing problem while identifying heating inadequacies — demonstrates completeness by reporting both favorable and unfavorable findings about Engineer A's prior work
Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Interpretation
The completeness principle requires that advisory reports include all material findings; Engineer B's differentiated treatment of plumbing (adequate) and heating (inadequate) suggests the report was complete rather than selectively adverse
Invoked by
Engineer A Professional Reputation Complaint Filer
Tension resolution
The completeness principle appears satisfied by Engineer B's report: reporting both the plumbing adequacy and the heating inadequacy demonstrates non-selective technical assessment; Engineer A's allegation of incompleteness is not supported by the reported facts
Source Evidence
Source text
The report noted there was no problem with the design of the plumbing system, but concluded there were design inadequacies in the original sizing of the equipment for hot water and heating.
Text references
Engineer A thereafter filed a complaint with the state engineering registration board alleging that Engineer B had acted improperly in that the report was not objective and did not include all pertinent information
The report noted there was no problem with the design of the plumbing system, but concluded there were design inadequacies in the original sizing of the equipment for hot water and heating.
