The research data has been compromised and does not correlate with the results the medical director is publishing. The VP of Operations, Ralf, discovers the anomaly from a junior research assistant. Ralf is faced with the ethical dilemma of a falsified report by his colleague. Solving ethical issues effectively requires accurate identification of the core issue. The subsequent analysis of the problem is much easier when the problem is accurately identified.

The Baird Method is composed of five steps. Step 1: Be
