After considering the duties that you have in this situation and after thinking about what action will support good ethical results, the time has come to make your final choice. Below is a list of all the options we've been exploring. Choose the one that, after reflection, you now believe is the most ethical course of action. After you've chosen, you'll have the opportunity to write a brief memo supporting your decision.

What is your final decision?

Option 1: In order to meet your obligations to the company, decline the opportunity unless Terebro agrees to let you disclose that EG Consulting was paid by them.

Option 2: In order to be completely honest and transparent, decline the opportunity unless Terebro agrees to include a statement on the report that EG Consulting and the engineers were paid by them.

Option 3: Accept the contract and write the report so that the problems with the data are obvious to a skilled reader in order to get the information across without disrupting the contract.

Option 4: In order to minimize conflict, accept the contract without restrictions and let the people reading the report come to their own conclusions.

Option 5: In order to create the best data possible, decline the opportunity unless Terebro agrees to let you use other responsible data to prepare your report.

Option 6: Accept the contract and send an anonymous message to an environmental group disclosing the problem because you must take control to do what's right.
