http://proethica.org/ontology/case/5#Transparency_-_Firm_DBA_Concealment_of_Session_Accessibility_Barriers
Properties
Instance of
Applied to
Public engagement report submitted to the City
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Concrete expression
Firm DBA's omission of material facts about session locations, times, transit inaccessibility, and the prohibition on written comments from its public engagement report violated the transparency obligation by concealing from the City and other decision-makers the procedural barriers that prevented genuine Community P participation
Confidence
0.94
Importance
high
Interpretation
Transparency requires that professional reports disclose all material procedural facts that would affect a decision-maker's assessment of the report's conclusions — omission of accessibility barriers that explain the low Community P participation rate is a material transparency failure
Invoked by
Firm DBA Licensed PE Supervisors and Owners
Firm DBA Public Outreach Engineering Consultant
Tension resolution
Transparency obligation requires disclosure of the procedural facts regardless of client preference for a favorable narrative
Source Evidence
