http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#RiskThresholdCalibrationinPublicSafetyReporting
Applied to
Escalation scope determination
Subdivision structural defect risk assessment
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
The BER determined that the subdivision structural defect case fell between the imminent bridge collapse (BER 00-5, requiring full-bore multi-authority escalation) and the barn structural concern (BER 07-10, requiring written notification to owner and town supervisor), requiring a measured but proactive response including building officials and homeowners association.
Confidence
0.92
Importance
high
Interpretation
The non-imminent but multi-homeowner nature of the subdivision defect places it in an intermediate risk category requiring escalation beyond the client but not the full-bore campaign required for imminent widespread danger.
Invoked by
Engineer A Current Case Subdivision Tract Defect Reporting Forensic Engineer
Tension resolution
The intermediate risk level requires intermediate escalation — beyond the insurance company report but not to the level of the bridge closure campaign.

the facts and circumstances in the present case fall somewhere between those outlined in BER Cases 00-5 and 07-10 , and would require Engineer A to take steps beyond merely submitting a written report to the insurance company.
Text references
Although a threat isn't imminent, since this matter had the potential to affect several other homeowners in the subdivision, Engineer A should have explored additional steps
