Benzite Regulatory Tradition

A Benzite cultural regulatory tradition that governs scientific disclosure, internal review, and incident-reporting norms among Benzite practitioners. It privileges on-the-spot, comprehensive local analysis and verification before external notification, enforcing compliance via social and professional custom rather than formal bureaucracy. In the presented material, this tradition compels Ensign Mendon to delay Starfleet incident reporting until a full Benzite analysis is complete, creating cross-cultural procedural friction with Starfleet operational requirements and shipboard safety priorities.
