legalExposure
Reliability is authority by domain, not morality.
- legal exposure
- institutional defensibility
- public acknowledgement
- classified uncertainty
- risk language
- public statements
- redaction boundaries
- institutionally safe admissions
- may mistake silence for safety
- may suppress useful ambiguity
- may treat emotional truth as exposure
- institution
- defensibility
- procedure
- reputation
- reduce exposure
- separate admission from observation
- preserve what can safely be acknowledged
- legal exposure increased
- public acknowledgement unsafe
- classification uncertain
- causality implies liability
- active legal hold
- lack of jurisdiction
- truth can be preserved elsewhere without exposure
- legal-redaction
- procedural-clarification
- management-reclassification
- silence
- accidental-confession
- unauthorised-insertion
- emotional-aside
