Scope Note
[proethica-intermediate-extended] State in which a licensed professional engineer has received credible independent evidence — through third-party analysis, modeling, or observed real-world outcomes — that their completed design contains errors or produced non-compliant results, triggering an affirmative professional obligation to verify the independent findings against their own work, acknowledge the error to the client and relevant parties, and engage the firm's risk management process to identify and implement corrective measures.
