Definition
Extracted from facts primary
A disclosure condition in which a professional is bound by a confidentiality agreement not to disclose confidential information involving the firms whose work the professional reviews, so information acquired in the review is held under a standing nondisclosure condition.
Inherited from ConfidentialInformationExposureState · note
A disclosure condition in which a client's private or confidential information has been placed where it is accessible beyond the parties, here the condition created when a client's information is uploaded into an open-source AI interface, tantamount to placing the private information in the public domain, without the client's prior consent.

Unquantified Risk State
rdfs:subClassOf States
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
An epistemic condition in which a professional is aware of a potential violation or hazard but has not yet confirmed or fully characterized it, so the professional's knowledge of the problem is preliminary rather than established. Here Engineer A discovers through review of technical documentation that Engineer B's work may be in violation of safety code requirements.
Inherited from UnquantifiedRiskState · note
An epistemic condition in which a professional is aware of a potential risk but has not yet quantified or fully characterized it, so the professional's knowledge of the hazard is speculative or preliminary rather than measured.

Text References:
"Engineer A discovers that Engineer B’s work may be in violation of state and local safety code requirements and could endanger public health, safety, and welfare."
Confidence: 0.9
State Category: epistemic
Persistence Type: inertial
Activation Conditions: A reviewer's examination of technical documentation reveals a possible but unconfirmed violation or hazard
Termination Conditions: The potential violation is confirmed or ruled out through further investigation
Principle Transformation: The reviewer's preliminary knowledge of a possible violation makes the question of what further action is required ethically material before the risk is confirmed.

Public Safety Risk State
rdfs:subClassOf States
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
A condition of hazard exposure in which the public faces potential harm to health, safety, and welfare, here the exposure arising from design work that may violate state and local safety code requirements.
Inherited from PublicSafetyRiskState · note
A condition of hazard exposure in which the public or a specific community faces potential harm to safety or welfare, such as flooding harm to residents.
Properties

Confidence: 0.85
State Category: risk
Persistence Type: inertial
Activation Conditions: Design work is completed that may violate applicable safety code requirements
Termination Conditions: The design deficiencies are corrected or the work is shown to comply with safety code requirements
Principle Transformation: Potential endangerment of the public bears on the protective duties the engineering role exists to discharge while the hazard exposure remains uncorrected.
