Definition

State in which a professional has made a legally or ethically permissible choice not to disclose information that would have been prudent to disclose — such as prior exam failures or past difficulties — and that non-disclosure, while not constituting an ethical violation, has created a materially weakened professional and relational position with the employer, such that if the undisclosed risk materializes (e.g., another exam failure), the professional faces amplified consequences including potential employment termination without the goodwill or negotiating position that full prior disclosure would have established.
