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 NOT DEFENSIBLE — 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. Calibrated to the highest-bar US jurisdiction rather than to any one statute, so a control may read Absent 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 summary published | 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 NOT DEFENSIBLE — regardless of the score.
In the worked sample it scores 76 out of 100 and still reads NOT DEFENSIBLE — Every other control is in place, but there is no independent bias audit — the load-bearing defense against a discrimination claim. Marked fix first on this sample: Commission an independent bias audit (vendor self-attestation doesn't count).
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 NOT DEFENSIBLE, because every other control is in place, but there is no independent bias audit — the load-bearing defense against a discrimination claim.
What is a worsen-only gate?
A dispositive rule that can only lower a verdict, never raise it. One fatal flaw overrides an otherwise-good score, because a single disqualifying gap shouldn't hide behind a high average. Where something is short, the fix-first row names it — here, "Commission an independent bias audit (vendor self-attestation doesn't count)".
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.
