Benzite Regulatory Tradition

A constellation of Benzite cultural norms and procedural expectations that govern scientific conduct, reporting, and internal review. Practitioners prioritize comprehensive local analysis before external disclosure, creating an obligation-bound workflow enforced through social pressure and professional custom rather than formal bureaucracy. In the current material, Mendon invokes these protocols to justify delaying Starfleet incident reporting until a full Benzite analysis completes, producing procedural friction with Starfleet operational requirements and exposing cross-cultural governance gaps between Benzite scientists and Federation command.
