Description

Return available stakeholder options under supplied exclusions.

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 available stakeholder options under supplied exclusions.

When to use this tool

Use Stakeholder Option Exclusion Count when checking the stated permission, disclosure, timing or ethical-review record convention.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter options, stakeholderOptions, excludedOptions. Follow any array-alignment requirements below. 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 availableCount, excludedCount, unavailableStakeholderOptions. Use the output convention below.

Return available stakeholder options under supplied exclusions. Deduplicate stakeholderOptions, retain those also offered and not excluded; excludedCount counts explicitly excluded stakeholder labels, unavailable lists every label not available.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • Unavailable and excluded are different sets; actual stakeholder choice, fairness and ethical acceptability are not established.
  • 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

Review the original evidence, participant choices and governing requirements with the responsible ethics and professional teams for substantive decisions.
