Applied to
City Council design decision
City Municipal Infrastructure Client
Balancing with
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
Engineer K presented all available information about both design approaches — including risks, benefits, costs, environmental impacts, long-term limitations, and the disproportionate flood risk to the underserved community — to City leadership without selectively omitting material information that might have favored one approach
Confidence
0.93
Importance
high
Interpretation
In this context, completeness requires Engineer K to present all material information bearing on the design decision — including the politically sensitive environmental justice risk — rather than limiting the analysis to the technical performance characteristics the client was primarily focused on
Invoked by
Engineer K Flood Control Design Engineer
Tension resolution
Engineer K fulfilled the completeness obligation by presenting all material information including the underserved community risk; the City then exercised its decision authority with full information
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer K presents all available information about both the Traditional Approach and the Sustainable Approach, including the risks and benefits of each approach to the City's leadership during a City Council meeting.
Text references
Engineer K discovers that the Traditional Approach could disproportionately impact a nearby underserved community by diverting floodwaters to their neighborhood under low-probability but high-volume conditions
Engineer K presents all available information about both the Traditional Approach and the Sustainable Approach, including the risks and benefits of each approach to the City's leadership during a City Council meeting.
