Definition
Engineer L's failure to disclose the preliminary risk concern to Client X at the time of work suspension
Properties
Instance of
UndisclosedPreliminaryRiskState
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#UndisclosedPreliminaryRiskState
Active period
From the work suspension communications through the period of suspension, until work resumed and Engineer L eventually disclosed the risk
Affected parties
Client X
Community relying on the watershed
Engineer L
Confidence
0.85
Principle Transformation
Transforms the general duty of honest communication into a specific obligation to disclose preliminary risk findings before or at the time of any work suspension, so that the client can make informed decisions during the interruption.
Subject
Engineer L's failure to disclose the preliminary risk concern to Client X at the time of work suspension
Terminated by
Engineer L notifying Client X of the qualitatively estimated risk after resuming work and conducting additional studies
Triggering event
Work suspension communications in which Engineer L did not mention the potential increased risk to the community drinking water source
Urgency level
medium
Match Confidence
0.72
Match Reasoning
Via class 'Undisclosed Preliminary Risk State': The existing Unverified Risk Concern State captures the intermediate epistemic condition where a professional has a concern but not yet a confirmed finding. However, the distinctive feature here is that the concern was not disclosed at the time of work suspension, creating a transparency deficit that persists through the interruption. The existing class does not specifically capture the non-disclosure dimension during a work suspension. A medium-confidence match is appropriate, but the non-disclosure aspect during suspension is a meaningful additional element.
