Properties
Instance of
Fact-BasedDisclosureObligation
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Fact-BasedDisclosureObligation
Applied to
Client B Cost-Directing Developer
Local Permitting Regulatory Authority
Balancing with
Proactive Risk Disclosure
Professional Competence in Risk Assessment
Concrete expression
Engineer A's risk assessment is characterized as a professional 'judgment' based on conference-presented procedures rather than a confirmed finding from completed specialized analysis, requiring Engineer A to disclose the identified risk with appropriate qualification as a preliminary assessment while recommending specialized analysis to confirm or refute it
Confidence
0.85
Importance
medium
Interpretation
In this context, fact-based disclosure obligation requires Engineer A to communicate the preliminary risk assessment to Client B and the regulatory authority with appropriate epistemic qualification — as a professional judgment requiring confirmation through specialized analysis — rather than either suppressing the concern or asserting it as a confirmed finding
Invoked by
Engineer A Tidal Crossing Infrastructure Design Engineer
Tension resolution
Fact-based disclosure obligation and proactive risk disclosure are reconciled by disclosing the preliminary judgment with appropriate qualification and recommending specialized analysis to confirm or refute it
