Bias lives in outcomes, not intentions
- People processes decide who gets hired, praised, paid and promoted — and each can carry bias invisibly. The bias audit 偏见审计 compares outcomes across groups BEFORE adjusting for criteria.
- The screening audit: one postcode group passes the CV knock-out at 60%, the other at 36% — ratio 0.60, below the four-fifths line.
The four-fifths smoke detector
- Adverse impact 不利影响: a group's selection rate below 0.80 × the top rate. Here 0.80 × 60% = 48%; 36% < 48% — the line is crossed.
- Investigation: "fine-dining experience" as a knock-out functions as a postcode gate. Fix: trial days for all, CV trimmed to legal essentials — the gap closes to 52% vs 46%.
Pass rates 36% and 60%. The ratio, to two decimals?

$36/60 = 0.60 < 0.80$: the four-fifths line is crossed - a prompt for scrutiny, not a verdict by itself.
The top group passes at 60%. The four-fifths threshold rate, in %?

$0.80 \times 60\% = 48\%$; the observed 36% sits below it. The detector is beeping.
The comment field carries the bias
- Two crew members with caring responsibilities get "availability concerns" at three times the rate — with IDENTICAL covers and defect rates.
- Fix: comments must cite a measured criterion or be deleted. Make the prose as auditable as the scores.
Which frame - and which fix?
Route HR dilemmas to their ethical frame and audit findings to their process fix.
The knock-out listed "fine-dining experience". The right fix?

Fix the criterion: make the gate job-relevant and the gap closes (52 vs 46). Quotas treat the symptom and leave the gate biased.
Appraisal comments carry "availability concerns" x3 with identical numbers. The fix?

Make the prose as auditable as the scores - a comment without a criterion is a bias with a text box.
After the fix, pass rates are 52% and 46%. The ratio, to two decimals?

$46/52 = 0.88 > 0.80$ - above the line, and more importantly the gate is now job-relevant. The detector is quiet because the fire is out.
Ethical frames, named
- Utilitarian (greatest good), rights, justice — most HR dilemmas are frames colliding. The Saturday chef's second job: flex him (utilitarian) vs contract (rights) vs fairness (justice).
- The designed answer: a swap-board with transparent rules — flexibility real, justice met by ACCESS, not exception.
Match each dilemma reading to its frame.

Most HR dilemmas are frames colliding - naming them turns shouting into design.
A process is unbiased if the intent behind it was clean.

Bias lives in outcomes, not intentions - the audit reads the data, not the mission statement.
The bias audit compares outcomes across groups BEFORE adjusting for criteria. Why before?

Adjustments answer "is the gap explained?"; the raw gap asks "is there one?" Both questions, in that order - never only the second.
Three inclusion slips
- Intent as defence. Clean intent audits nothing; outcomes do.
- One audit, framed. The audit is a habit, not a project.
- The line as verdict or permission. Four-fifths prompts scrutiny — a smoke detector, not a judge.
Recap
- Audit outcomes by group; fix the criterion, not the quota.
- Comments and criteria must both be auditable.
- Named frames = dilemmas designed, not ducked.
