http://proethica.org/ontology/case/73#Proactive_Risk_Disclosure_Invoked_By_Engineer_A_Grid_Reliability_Warning
Properties
Instance of
Applied to
Advisory report to organizational board on solar without storage option
Balancing with
Carbon Footprint Reduction Stakeholder interests
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
Engineer A must proactively communicate the grid reliability risks of the solar without storage option — including the increased likelihood of rolling blackouts — to the board without waiting for the board to specifically request reliability analysis or for harm to materialize
Confidence
0.93
Importance
high
Interpretation
The proactive disclosure obligation requires Engineer A to surface reliability risks that the board has not specifically requested and may not know to ask about, because the board lacks the technical expertise to identify the reliability gap independently
Invoked by
Engineer A Energy Systems Reporting Engineer
Tension resolution
Proactive disclosure of reliability risks is required regardless of whether the board or stakeholders have requested it; the engineer's professional obligation to enable informed decision-making is not contingent on the client's awareness of what information is material
Source Evidence
