Decision question
Should Engineers A and B submit a fully objective and complete evaluation report to the MWC, including the lead leaching risk and the recommended three-year improvement timeline, even if doing so conflicts with the commission's cost-reduction goals?
Focus
Engineers A and B have completed their technical evaluation and Engineer B's report identifies a serious lead leaching risk associated with the planned water source change. The engineers must decide whether to submit an objective, complete report to the Metropolitan Water Commission or to soften findings in response to the commission's cost-reduction motivation. This is the foundational decision because any compromise in truthfulness at this stage would suppress every downstream protective action.
Option1
Submit the full evaluation report identifying the lead leaching risk and recommending extensive capital investments and a three-year corrosion control improvement timeline, without softening findings to accommodate the commission's economic preferences.
Option2
Downplay or omit the severity of the lead leaching risk in order to align the report with the commission's cost-reduction objectives, avoiding conflict with the client.
Option3
Withhold the completed report until informal discussions with the commission clarify what level of risk disclosure the client is willing to accept, effectively allowing client preference to shape technical conclusions.
