Incomplete Deliverable Submitted State

Class
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#IncompleteDeliverableSubmittedState
Definition

State in which a professional has delivered a work product that is known by the professional to be materially incomplete, lacking design detail or information necessary for the work to be constructed or implemented, and in which the professional has not disclosed the incompleteness to the client, approving authority, or other affected parties at the time of delivery.

Inherited from DeficientWorkProductSubmittedState

State in which a professional has submitted a work product to a client that contains errors, omissions, or deficiencies that fail to meet professional or regulatory standards, creating obligations to correct the deficiencies, notify affected parties, and assess whether safety or compliance risks have been introduced.

Transforms general honesty and completeness principles into concrete obligations to disclose known deficiencies in sealed professional documents before those documents are relied upon by contractors, agencies, or funding bodies.
State Category
information
Termination Conditions
Corrected and complete deliverable is submitted
Deficiencies are disclosed and acknowledged by all affected parties
Project is cancelled or scope is formally revised
Match Confidence
0.78
Match Reasoning
Deficient Work Product Submitted State captures the concept of a submitted work product containing errors, omissions, or deficiencies failing professional standards. The present state is a variant that emphasizes the professional's contemporaneous knowledge of incompleteness and the deliberate non-disclosure, which adds a distinct epistemic and honesty dimension not fully captured by the existing class. A medium-confidence match is appropriate; the new class is warranted to capture the non-disclosure element.
