Research
Use the same defined terms the standards use, so your findings can be cited in them.
-
Tie your question to one of the twelve laws
Each law states a condition an automated decision system must keep, and names the standard clauses that check it. Frame your question against one law, so a finding bears on a specific clause.
-
Read why the laws hold
The theory essays make the argument: who depends on whom, who can object, and why being able to do something is not permission to do it.

Bring a case or a dataset
Send field studies, incident analyses, and protocols through the Participate page.
