Properties
Instance of
Applied to
Homeowner notification of freeze risk
Sprinkler system operability risk
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
Engineer A's observation of the freeze risk in the sprinkler installation creates an obligation to proactively communicate that risk to the homeowner without waiting for the homeowner to ask, for harm to materialize, or for a formal request from a regulatory authority
Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Interpretation
Proactive risk disclosure requires Engineer A to notify the homeowner of the observed freeze risk promptly upon observation, because the homeowner lacks the technical knowledge to independently recognize the risk and is directly exposed to the consequences of system failure
Invoked by
Engineer A Multi-Credential Observing Engineer
Tension resolution
Proactive disclosure to the homeowner is consistent with faithful agent obligations because the homeowner is the client and the disclosure serves the homeowner's interests in having an operable fire suppression system
