Description
Return declared/decision scope intersection.
Applied-ethics records capture supplied permissions, disclosures, criteria and time or cost assumptions. A checklist, Boolean condition or numerical margin can reveal a local inconsistency without determining ethical acceptability, valid consent or lawful authority. Context, evidence and the interests of affected people remain essential.
Return declared/decision scope intersection.
When to use this tool
Use Declared Interest Scope Overlap when checking the stated permission, disclosure, timing or ethical-review record convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter declaredScopes, decisionScopes. Follow any array-alignment requirements below. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read overlappingScopes, overlapCount. Use the output convention below.
Return declared/decision scope intersection. Deduplicate declaredScopes, retain literal membership in decisionScopes and count the overlap.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- Matching scope labels do not establish an actual conflict, complete disclosure or recusal obligation.
- 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.
