Based on Paul Evans: The Divide. Introductory reference only; major discoveries and outcomes are omitted.

Institutional perspective

Hawksworth’s work involves receiving reports and setting expectations across operations. Paul and Anika encounter the plant directly; he needs their observations in a form that can support a wider decision.

His place in the story invites a question about leadership rather than a verdict on his character: how should a person responsible for a whole system listen to the people closest to a local problem?
