How the AEDT Deployer Compliance Dossier gate works
How the AEDT Deployer Compliance Dossier grades an automated hiring tool: six weighted controls and a two-trigger gate (no independent bias audit, or no candidate notice) that forces EVIDENCE GAP — which is how the sample scores 76 and still fails.
How the gate works
This tool grades the evidence dossier you can produce for an automated hiring tool (AEDT) — on your own marks, before a regulator or candidate asks. Graded against a composite US readiness baseline rather than any one statute, so a control may be marked 0 where nothing in your jurisdiction requires it. Each control is marked from your own evidence and weighted into a 0–100 score — and then the score is run past a gate that can only make the verdict worse.
The 6 weighted controls
| Signal | Weight |
|---|---|
| Independent bias audit on file | 24 |
| Pre-use candidate notice delivered | 20 |
| Audit-publication requirement assessed | 16 |
| Human review & appeal path | 14 |
| Recordkeeping & retention | 14 |
| Data-source & proxy governance | 12 |
| Total | 100 |
The verdict bands
No independent bias audit, OR candidates never notified, forces EVIDENCE GAP — regardless of the score.
In the worked sample it scores 76 out of 100 and still reads EVIDENCE GAP — Every other control is marked 2, but the independent bias audit is marked 0 — one of the two gate controls. Where NYC Local Law 144 applies, the employer or employment agency must ensure that a qualifying independent bias audit was completed within the year before use; a vendor’s internal self-assessment is not itself that audit. Marked fix first on this sample: Where an applicable rule requires one, commission a qualifying independent bias audit (a vendor's own self-assessment is not, by itself, that audit).
Common questions
Can something score well on the AEDT Deployer Compliance Dossier and still fail?
Yes. The weighted score is run past a worsen-only gate — the Two-trigger gate — that can only make the verdict worse. In the worked sample it scores 76 out of 100 and still reads EVIDENCE GAP, because every other control is marked 2, but the independent bias audit is marked 0 — one of the two gate controls. Where NYC Local Law 144 applies, the employer or employment agency must ensure that a qualifying independent bias audit was completed within the year before use; a vendor’s internal self-assessment is not itself that audit.
What is a worsen-only gate?
A rule that can only lower a verdict, never raise it. One gate-triggering gap overrides an otherwise-good score, because a single gate-triggering gap shouldn't hide behind a high average. Where something is short, the fix-first row names it — here, "Where an applicable rule requires one, commission a qualifying independent bias audit (a vendor's own self-assessment is not, by itself, that audit)".
Not legal advice. This is a readiness aid that grades a deployer's evidence dossier from your own marks — not a bias audit, certification, opinion of counsel, or safe harbor. AEDT obligations vary by jurisdiction and change often; it connects to nothing and scores no candidate or employee. Confirm your specific obligations with a qualified employment attorney.
