The criteria are fixed before the case is seen.
What counts is written down in advance, not reconstructed after the outcome is known.
Automated and semi-automated systems now decide who gets hired, who gets credit, and who gets a home. Most of them cannot show their work. This is the standard we hold them to.
Screening, ranking, rejection
Approval, pricing, limits
Tenancy, valuation, access
What counts is written down in advance, not reconstructed after the outcome is known.
The inputs, the rule applied, and the moment it was applied all remain recoverable.
A rule that treats everyone identically can still land on people unevenly.
Not a score and not a model name, but the factors that moved the decision.
Models are replaced. The record of what they decided is not.
If you make decisions of this kind and want them measured against this standard, write to us.
