Review
Confidentiality-Bound Peer Reviewer
C126
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
A licensed professional engineering role in which an engineer is retained by a client to review and ultimately replace an incumbent engineer's design work, under a client instruction to conceal the new engagement from the incumbent, bearing obligations to disclose the relationship to the incumbent engineer despite client confidentiality direction, to conduct an objective technical review, and to avoid using the confidentiality instruction as a means of gaining unfair competitive advantage.
Inherited from Confidentiality-BoundPeerReviewer · note
A licensed professional engineering role in which an engineer conducts a peer review of another engineer's design work under a contractual confidentiality agreement, bearing obligations to maintain confidentiality of review findings while retaining overriding obligations to notify the original design engineer of the review, discuss concerns directly with that engineer, and report public safety violations to appropriate authorities when collegial resolution fails.

Definition
Extracted from facts primary
State in which an engineer has received an explicit client instruction to maintain confidentiality about a new engagement from an incumbent professional, but the engineer independently chooses to disclose the relationship and preliminary review results to the affected incumbent prior to any contractual obligation to do so, creating a condition where the engineer's professional courtesy and transparency obligations are fulfilled at the cost of partial non-compliance with client instructions, and where the ethical permissibility of the override must be evaluated against faithful agent duties.

Principle Transformation: Transforms the tension between faithful agent duty and professional courtesy into a concrete disclosure decision, where voluntary override of client instruction is ethically evaluated as a positive professional act rather than a breach.

Client Transition Overlap Engagement State
C126
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
State in which a client has formally retained a successor engineer for substantive design review services while the incumbent engineer's contract remains active and has not yet expired, creating a temporal overlap in which two engineers hold simultaneous but asymmetric obligations to the same client, the successor is bound by confidentiality instructions regarding the incumbent, and the incumbent retains full contractual rights and professional standing despite the client's intent to transition.
Inherited from ClientTransitionOverlapEngagementState · note
State in which a client has initiated engagement with a new engineer (Engineer B) for services overlapping with or succeeding those of an incumbent engineer (Engineer A) whose contract has not yet expired, creating a condition where the incoming engineer is simultaneously bound by duties of loyalty and confidentiality to the new client while the outgoing engineer retains active contractual rights, and where the client has instructed the incoming engineer to maintain confidentiality about the new engagement from the incumbent, generating tension between faithful agent obligations to the new client and professional courtesy obligations toward the incumbent.
