Constitutional summary

Canonical case

Pathogenic BRCA Variant Without Demonstrable Completion of Longitudinal Risk-Management and Cascade-Testing Obligations

Constitutional first cause

The Engine begins when: A pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline variant is confirmed and disclosed, creating new obligations for the patient, clinicians, and potentially biologically related family members. Not when cancer develops. The obligation begins when the verified genetic finding enters the system.

Obligation architecture

  1. 1Event observed — Pathogenic BRCA variant confirmed.
  2. 2Variant classification verified.
  3. 3Genetic counseling accepted.
  4. 4Patient understanding documented.
  5. 5Risk-management options discussed.
  6. 6Shared decision-making completed.
  7. 7Appropriate surveillance initiated.
  8. 8Preventive intervention accepted, declined, or deferred.
  9. 9Cascade testing offered to at-risk relatives where appropriate.
  10. 10Longitudinal surveillance and decision updates maintained.

Constitutional observations

What The Engine makes visible

Current systems can demonstrate: the genetic test was performed; the report exists; counseling occurred. They often cannot demonstrate: that long-term risk-management obligations were accepted; that surveillance remained active; that preventive options were revisited as circumstances changed; that cascade-testing obligations were addressed. Again... The constitutional unit isn't the gene. It's the obligation network created by verified knowledge.

Demonstration

No worked demonstration is provisioned for this specialty in this build. Occupational Medicine (Specialty 25) is the first domain and carries the worked demonstration; the constitutional architecture above is shared across specialties.
