Case context
Engineer A lost access to mentor Engineer B's quality assurance reviews upon Engineer B's retirement and responded by using open-source AI software with which Engineer A had no prior experience, resulting in deficient design documents being submitted to Client W.
Compliance status
unmet
Confidence
0.86
Obligation statement
When Engineer B retired and became unavailable, Engineer A was obligated to identify and implement an adequate alternative quality assurance process for their professional work products rather than substituting an unfamiliar AI tool for the oversight function Engineer B had previously provided.
Temporal scope
Upon Engineer B's retirement and throughout the project delivery period
Match Confidence
0.75
Match Reasoning
Via class 'Mentorship Gap Competence Obligation': This obligation is a contextual specialization of the existing Competence Obligation, addressing the specific situation where a quality assurance mentor becomes unavailable. The existing class covers the general duty to practice within competence but does not address the specific duty to maintain quality assurance processes when supervisory support is lost. A new class is warranted to capture this distinct scenario type.

Faced with the need to deliver both the report and the engineering design documents without the review by and mentorship from Engineer B, Engineer A opted to use open-sourced artificial intelligence (AI) software to create an initial draft of the necessary report and to use AI-assisted drafting tools to generate preliminary design documents. The AI drafting software was new to the market and Engineer A had no previous experience with the tool.
Previously, Engineer A had relied on guidance and quality assurance reviews by their mentor and supervisor, Engineer B, to refine report drafts. But Engineer B recently retired and was no longer available to Engineer A in a work capacity.
