Regulatory Violation State
C86
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
A condition in which a party's activity stands in violation of laws or regulations in force for the situation, here a client's installation of fill material on wetlands without any permits, variances, or permissions, which is a substantial violation of federal and state laws and regulations.
Inherited from RegulatoryViolationState · note
A condition in which a policy or requirement is in force for the situation, here City policies requiring new infrastructure projects to be developed with climate resiliency in mind.

Post Engagement Discovery State
C86
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
An epistemic condition in which a professional, after completing services for a client, discovers a material condition on or connected with the engagement site, here Engineer A noticing months after completing wetland delineation services that the client has installed unpermitted fill material across a portion of the wetlands.
Inherited from PostEngagementDiscoveryState · note
An epistemic condition in which a professional, after the design work is complete and an event has occurred, comes to believe that a prior design decision may have been in error, here Engineer T's post-accident realization that alternative design concepts explored early on would have allowed connections to be made while standing on the floor with injury far less likely.

Engagement Termination State
C86
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
A temporal condition in which a professional's services for a client have been completed, so the professional is in a post-engagement phase while knowledge and relationships from the engagement remain, here Engineer A having completed wetland delineation services a few months before observing the client's property.
Inherited from EngagementTerminationState · note
A temporal condition in which a professional's contract for services has been terminated by the client, with services performed fully paid, so the professional is in a post-engagement phase while knowledge acquired during the engagement remains held.
