Description

Flag a supplied required assumption disclosure as missing.

Ethical records distinguish assumptions, permissions, role assignments, reported conflicts and source-qualified claims. A supplied truth flag can be negated mechanically without evaluating a rule, while a disclosure marker does not prove an acceptable practice. Ethical interpretation depends on evidence, context and the affected people.

Flag a supplied required assumption disclosure as missing.

When to use this tool

Use Decision Assumption Disclosure Flag when you already have assumptionRequired, assumptionDisclosed and need to flag a supplied required assumption disclosure as missing.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter assumptionRequired, assumptionDisclosed. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read disclosureMissing. Inspect disclosureMissing before interpreting the associated values.

Limitations and assumptions

  • A false flag need not mean disclosure occurred. No actual assumption, text, ethical acceptability or professional compliance is verified.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Read the underlying case, source, policy and consent records. Assess duties, authority, affected interests and actual circumstances through the appropriate professional process; local tokens and boolean checks do not resolve an ethical or legal question.
