Properties
Instance of
Applied to
Technical content of stamped analysis
Water-rights court proceeding
Balancing with
Loyalty
Stamped Document Ongoing Professional Accountability
Concrete expression
If Engineer A were to participate in any aspect of the water-rights proceeding — whether defending his prior stamped work or otherwise — he would be required to maintain objectivity grounded in the technical facts of the analysis rather than advocacy for either the former private client or the State
Confidence
0.8
Importance
medium
Interpretation
Objectivity requires that Engineer A's defense of his prior work be grounded in genuine technical assessment of what the analysis showed and whether it was methodologically sound — not in loyalty to the former client or in desire to protect his professional reputation at the expense of accurate technical disclosure
Invoked by
Engineer A Water Rights Analysis Engineer
Tension resolution
Objectivity and accountability are complementary here: Engineer A should support the stamped work only to the extent that it is technically defensible on its merits, and should acknowledge any limitations or errors if they exist
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A feels that he can and should support the work he performed and which was included in the stamped report, but he is concerned about the remaining steps in the court process.
