# Code of Conduct – Full Creation Notes

**Last Updated:** 2026-02-21

Extended creation notes for the Code of Conduct Lexikon post. See [CREATION_NOTES.md](CREATION_NOTES.md) for the standard summary.

## Edge Cases Documented

### PAA Handling

- **SISTRIX PAA:** On-topic (HR-focused). No `paa-questions-manual.json` needed.
- **Risk:** Code of Conduct may return tech/gaming PAA (GitHub, open source) in some SERPs. If SISTRIX returns off-topic in future runs, create `paa-questions-manual.json` with HR-focused questions: Definition, Erstellung, Inhalte, Verstöße, Vorteile, Für wen gilt.
- **Company-specific PAA:** "wo finde ich den code of conduct von lidl/siemens" → FAQ "Wo finde ich den Code Of Conduct eines Unternehmens?" with generic answer (Unternehmenswebsite, Intranet).

### Scene Type Choice

- **Chosen:** SILHOUETTES (collaboration, professional discussion)
- **Rationale:** Distinct from corporate-social-responsibility (DESK), betriebsrat (CAFE). Code of Conduct = guidelines, shared values – human silhouettes suggest consensus and agreement on standards.
- **Avoided:** DESK (adjacent), CAFE (betriebsrat cluster), ABSTRACT (generic)

### Product Mapping

- **code_of_conduct** → `/dokumentenmanagement`, `/checklisten`, `/digitale-personalakte`
- **Rationale:** Policy distribution, acceptance checklists, document storage – no direct Ordio Compliance product. Similar to Kündigung/Exit cluster (abmahnung, arbeitszeugnis).

### Legal Accuracy

- **Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz** (seit Juli 2023): Unternehmen 50+ Mitarbeitende müssen Meldestellen einrichten; Whistleblower geschützt
- **DCGK** (Deutscher Corporate Governance Kodex): Empfehlungen für börsennotierte Unternehmen
- **LkSG** (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz): Lieferanten-Code of Conduct relevant

### Compliance Mention

- No Ordio post for Compliance. Mention concept in content without internal link.
