Class

http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Policy-CircumventionDesignManipulationState
Definition
State in which a senior engineer or supervisor indirectly instructs a subordinate to revise an engineering design in a manner that deliberately creates an otherwise-avoidable utility conflict, for the purpose of shifting project costs to a third party (such as a municipality) under a policy framework that only funds unavoidable conflicts — thereby circumventing the intent of the governing cost-allocation policy while maintaining plausible deniability through indirect communication.
