Decision question
Should Engineer A seek alternative mentorship or supervisory support after losing access to a mentor, or continue the project independently given existing competence in the domain?
Focus
Engineer A lost access to a mentor mid-project and continued work without seeking alternative supervision or guidance, despite having only basic proficiency in several critical areas including responsible charge verification and AI direction control for design. The question is whether Engineer A should have sought alternative mentorship or paused work rather than proceeding independently.
Option1
Pause work on tasks requiring responsible charge and AI oversight, and actively seek a qualified supervising engineer or peer reviewer before proceeding, acknowledging the gap created by the mentor's departure.
Option2
Continue project work limited strictly to tasks within Engineer A's demonstrated competence, deferring or flagging tasks requiring higher-level oversight until a replacement mentor or supervisor is identified.
Option3
Continue the full scope of project work independently, relying on AI tools to supplement the guidance previously provided by the mentor, on the basis that advanced domain competence and AI assistance together constitute adequate professional judgment.
