Description
Record an asserted rule-exception precedence and its source.
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.
Record an asserted rule-exception precedence and its source.
When to use this tool
Use Exception Rule Precedence Source Code when checking the stated ethical-review record, obligation or participation convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter ruleId, exceptionCode, precedenceSource. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty rule ID, exception code and precedence source. Encode the ordered triple as JSON text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| ruleId | Rule Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| exceptionCode | Exception Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| precedenceSource | Precedence Source | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | JSON-encoded ordered tuple or literal token under the convention above; not a database lookup or authentication result. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"ruleId": "RULE17",
"exceptionCode": "EX2",
"precedenceSource": "Policy v2"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"RULE17\",\"EX2\",\"Policy v2\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- This records a proposed exception link without resolving conflicting rules or establishing lawful or ethical precedence.
- 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.
