Properties
Instance of
FaithfulAgentNotificationObligationforProjectSuccessRisk
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#FaithfulAgentNotificationObligationforProjectSuccessRisk
Applied to
Client B Cost-Directing Developer
Public hearing process for development permit
Balancing with
Client Cost Management Preferences
Concrete expression
Engineer A's faithful agent obligation to Client B requires advising Client B in writing that proceeding without the specialized hydraulic analysis creates regulatory, legal, and reputational risks for the developer — including the risk that the upstream flood risk will become a contested issue in public hearings that could delay or defeat the project
Confidence
0.91
Importance
high
Interpretation
In this context, the faithful agent notification obligation requires Engineer A to advise Client B that the decision to forgo specialized analysis is not merely an ethical risk but a project success risk, because the upstream flood risk is 'anticipated to be a difficult question to answer in the project's public hearings'
Invoked by
Engineer A Tidal Crossing Infrastructure Design Engineer
Tension resolution
The faithful agent obligation encompasses advising clients of risks to project success, including regulatory and public hearing risks arising from inadequate safety analysis; this obligation aligns with rather than conflicts with the public welfare obligation in this case
