Description

Label whether a stated argument premise is explicit or implicit.

Ethics records describe supplied claims, roles, obligations, consent status and participation counts. Recording a permission modality or competing role does not resolve a duty conflict, establish valid consent or determine an ethically acceptable decision. Numerical balance and equal turn counts are limited summaries.

Label whether a stated argument premise is explicit or implicit.

Limitations and assumptions

  • The tool does not identify premises, interpret arguments, prove an inference or resolve moral disagreement.
  • 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, affected people’s interests and applicable professional/governance requirements with the responsible ethics team for substantive decisions.
