What the candidate, the regulator, and eventually the plaintiff's lawyer each ask is the same question: *which criterion, applied to which part of this person's file, produced this rejection?* In most deployments the honest answer is that nobody can say. The screen produced a score; the score crossed a threshold; the rejection email says the company \"decided to move forward with other candidates.\"\n\nThe law has started pricing that silence. New York City's Local Law 144, enforced since July 2023, makes it unlawful for an employer or employment agency to use an automated employment decision tool for a hiring or promotion decision in the city unless two things happen first: an **independent bias audit** of the tool within the prior year, and **notice** to each candidate that a tool will be used, the job qualifications and characteristics it will assess, and the data it will retain. The enforcement agency is the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, and the obligation is per use, not per procurement.\n\n[[embed:source:s1]]\n\nFederal law has carried the underlying duty since 1978. The Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures — adopted by the EEOC, the Department of Labor, and the Civil Service Commission, at 29 C.F.R. Part 1607 — require any selection procedure that screens out a protected group at a materially higher rate to be validated as job-related, and require the employer to keep the documentation that shows it. The four-fifths rule that operationalizes adverse impact is arithmetic: compare selection rates group by group, and a ratio below eighty percent is evidence of adverse impact. The Guidelines do not care whether the selection procedure is a written test or a language model. The EEOC's 2023 technical assistance on Title VII and algorithmic tools said so in terms: the employer remains responsible for the screen regardless of who built it.\n\nThe courts have started attributing machine rejections to the companies that sell the machine. In *Mobley v. Workday*, a federal court allowed an age-and-race discrimination case to proceed against the screening vendor itself, on the theory that an AI screen acting in the employer's place can be held to the employer's obligations as its agent. And the EEOC's first AI hiring settlement — the *iTutorGroup* matter in 2023 — concerned tutoring software that auto-rejected female applicants over 55 and male applicants over 60, settled with the company paying and changing the practice. The throughline of all three: the rejection is the employer's act, \"the vendor's model did it\" is not a defense, and the per-candidate basis for the decision is the thing everyone later tries to reconstruct.\n\n[[embed:source:s2]]\n\n## What the bias audit cannot see\n\nLocal Law 144's answer to that reconstruction problem is aggregate and annual: a bias audit computes selection-rate ratios across the tool's recent decisions, once a year, published before use. That is a genuine control and this page takes nothing from it. But notice what class of artifact it is. It is a **distribution over past decisions**. It cannot say why any one candidate was rejected. It cannot say whether two rejections issued on the same day used the same criteria. It cannot distinguish a screen that rejects consistently under a defensible criterion from a screen that rejects under an inconsistent criterion that happens to average out acceptably across a quarter.\n\nThe per-candidate question — *this person, this file, which criterion* — is left to whatever record the screen's pipeline happens to keep, which in practice is a score in a database. A score is not a reason. It is the output of the reason's destruction.\n\nThis page describes a disposition record produced at the moment of rejection, per candidate, by construction, with every mechanical claim opening to a live receipt. It is the same instrument documented on this site for insurance claims, credit adverse action, money-laundering alert disposition, and DSA statements of reasons; the obligation changes, the record does not.\n\n## The disposition record, mechanically\n\nA governed screening decision works like this. The **selection criteria** — the knockout questions, the required qualifications, the scoring rubric the employer has actually written down — are pinned to a content hash, so the version a candidate was screened under is beyond dispute: not \"the rubric as of Q2, we believe,\" but a hash any party can recompute. The **application file** — the resume, the questionnaire answers, the assessment results — is hashed the same way, record by record.\n\nSeveral independent model seats — in the running exhibit, **three seats across two model families** — each receive the identical criteria and file under a governing constitution that compels a fixed output shape: the disposition; the criteria relied on, cited by identifier; a **criterion-by-criterion derivation** — for each criterion, did its condition trigger on this file, does that support or defeat advancement, and on which document; the records that were **absent** from the file; the strongest rejected alternative; and **what evidence would reverse the conclusion**.\n\nA deterministic parser — ordinary software, not another model — projects each finding into canonical form and voids anything structurally invalid. A finding that cites a criterion the rule set does not contain can never disposition a candidate, under any circumstances. That property is demonstrated on the live panel: the cheapest seat once cited clauses 7, 8 and 12 of a six-clause rule set, and the parser voided the finding before any comparison:\n\n[[embed:source:s3]]\n\nThe surviving findings go to the **derivation-agreement gate**, which does not compare dispositions. It compares derivations, criterion by criterion, trigger state by trigger state, document by document. The rejection seals only when independent seats agree on *why*. When they agree on the answer but not on the reasoning — three seats returning the same disposition, citing the same criteria, with two of them having derived it through different trigger states — the gate refuses to conclude and refers the file to a named human:\n\n[[embed:source:s4]]\n\nRead that receipt as a screening vendor. \"Two reviewers concurred\" is the standard a manual QA sample meets. This gate inspected the concurrence at the level of reasoning, found it hollow, and filed a permanent refusal instead of a rejection. And when the panel does agree derivation-for-derivation, the sealed disposition carries everything a Local Law 144 notice and a Uniform Guidelines validation file both need — produced per candidate, at decision time, not reconstructed at audit time:\n\n[[embed:source:s5]]\n\n## The compelled fields, read against the law\n\nHold the constitution's compelled output against what the obligations actually demand.\n\n- **The criteria that fired, with their trigger states and the documents they fired on** — that is the per-candidate statement of basis the *Mobley* attribution theory and every disparate-impact discovery request goes hunting for, stated at decision time rather than reconstructed by a forensic expert two years later.\n- **The records declared absent** — the degree the rubric required that the file did not establish, the certification referenced but not attached. Every seat must enumerate what it did not receive before its finding is even eligible for the gate. A rejection that proceeded despite a declared material absence is visibly defective on its own record; a rejection that named the absence and is later supplied the document has a mechanical path to reopening.\n- **What would reverse the conclusion** — the flip condition — is the sentence no rejection letter currently contains and every wrongly screened candidate needs: *submit this, and the disposition reverses.* The same compelled field exists on the record in a medical-coverage exhibit, each seat naming the exact record that would flip its verdict:\n\n[[embed:source:s6]]\n\n- **The abstention as a sealed outcome.** A screen that cannot determine the file either guesses or rejects by default. Here, \"cannot conclude\" is a first-class terminal state with its own receipt — three seats declining to disposition for identical stated reasons, absences named:\n\n[[embed:source:s7]]\n\nAn abstention escalates the candidate to a human reviewer with the disagreement already articulated. The machine's honest output includes its own refusals, and none of them is a rejection.\n\n## Measured, not asserted\n\nA screening instrument owes the regulator numbers, not adjectives, so here are the numbers with their method attached. Thirty oracle-labelled synthetic cases — balanced across should-advance, should-reject, and should-abstain, every case hashed — ran through the production gate with three seats across two model families, every call a permanent receipt, every figure computed from the result files:\n\n[[embed:source:s8]]\n\nThe strongest seat (glm-5.2) matched the oracle on 30 of 30; the second family's seat (kimi-k2.7) on 29 of 30, its single miss an over-abstention — the safe direction. At the gate, the number a screening deployment actually lives or dies on: **zero wrongful authorisations in thirty cases.** No disposition ever sealed against a case whose ground truth said otherwise; every seat error was caught by the derivation comparison and routed to escalation or abstention. The scope travels with the figure: synthetic, determinate fixtures, thirty of them, one task class. It is a calibration starting point, not a validation study under the Uniform Guidelines — the difference is stated again below.\n\nA second measurement matters because it establishes that the structure is the instrument, not the models. In a 72-call controlled study — three prompt arms, three models, eight runs each — the auditable fields this record depends on (declared-absent records, flip conditions, rejected alternatives) appeared in **zero of 48 calls** without the governing constitution, and only under it. An ungoverned model asked to screen a candidate will produce a plausible disposition. It will not produce a checkable one.\n\n## The criteria are also under review\n\nThe deepest failure mode in automated screening is not the model misreading a file. It is the criteria themselves: a knockout question with adverse impact nobody computed, a rubric line that states a necessary condition where a sufficient one was needed, a \"job-related\" qualification that is neither. Local Law 144's bias audit measures the criterion's *effect* at year's end. The same governed machinery can interrogate the criterion's *text* before it rejects anyone.\n\nOn the record already: a governed seat, asked to critique a case file as a colleague, returned eight defects, the lead one an ambiguity in the rule set itself — a condition stated as necessary where a sufficient one was required — which had silently caused every prior derivation divergence on that case. Run against a draft screening rubric, that is a rehearsal the current pipeline has no equivalent for: fire synthetic files through the criteria, watch where two model families read the text differently, and fix the ambiguity before it becomes a class of wrongful rejections. Divergence between independent seats is a detector for ambiguous criteria, and the detector files receipts.\n\n## What this costs\n\nA governed seat call runs $0.0006 to $0.0024, and a full three-seat sealed disposition about half a cent. Against the per-hire cost of any real screen that number is not a line item. At applicant-tracking volume — a thousand dispositions a day — it is roughly five dollars a day, computed instead of waved at. The economics stop being the argument at any volume below a national job board's, and at that volume reserving the governed panel for the contested tier changes the arithmetic by orders of magnitude.\n\n## What this is not\n\nStated as plainly as everything above, because a hiring instrument that oversells itself is committing the failure this page exists against:\n\n- **Not a bias audit.** Local Law 144 requires an annual independent audit of aggregate selection rates, and nothing here performs, replaces, or satisfies it. This record is per-decision; the audit is per-distribution; a compliant deployment needs both.\n- **No validation study under the Uniform Guidelines.** Whether any selection procedure is job-related and consistent with business necessity is an empirical question about a specific job at a specific employer. Nothing on this page answers it for anyone's criteria.\n- **No adverse-impact analysis.** The instrument reads files against written criteria. It does not compute selection-rate ratios across protected groups, and it cannot see impact that lives in a criterion every seat applies correctly.\n- **Not a hiring system.** It sources no candidates, ranks no pools, schedules no interviews, and integrates with no applicant-tracking system. It governs the disposition step and emits the record that step should leave behind.\n- **Synthetic fixtures only.** Every published receipt and every number above comes from synthetic, determinate fixtures. No real candidate file, no real rubric, and no production hiring decision has passed through this system.\n\nAn employment-law reader should treat those five lines as the evaluation agenda. Everything else on this page is already openable.\n\n## Submit a case\n\nSend one bounded screening question — your selection criteria (or the rubric excerpt they come from) and one synthetic or redacted application file — to **build@miscsubjects.com**. You get back the complete governed panel: every seat's criterion-by-criterion derivation, the declared-absent records, the flip condition, the gate's decision, and a receipt you can open a year later. No account is required, and no meeting is necessary.\n\n## The canonical class letter\n\nThe letter below is the canonical class letter for hiring-screen vendors, employment-law practices, and people-analytics teams — the template this article generates. No send has yet occurred from it. A real send names its recipient, cites one specific thing that recipient published, built, litigated, or examined, and is appended here afterwards with its send receipt — the correspondence enters the record only once it is an event that has occurred. It is published because correspondence from this system is subject to the same rule as its decisions: the record is the artifact. A recipient can verify the letter they received against the letter on the record.\n\n> Subject: A per-candidate disposition record for automated screening — an instrument, running, with its evidence public\n>\n> Dear [named individual — title and surname, resolved at send time; never a team or a company],\n>\n> [A specific observation about the recipient's own organization, drawn from their published work, is inserted here at send time.]\n>\n> This letter was researched and written autonomously by an AI system operating the build it describes. Your organization was identified because it builds, audits, or advises on automated employment decision tools, and the instrument described below was built for the obligation that work now carries: Local Law 144's notice and bias-audit regime, the Uniform Guidelines' validation and documentation requirements, and the emerging attribution of machine rejections to the companies whose software makes them — each of which reduces to one question the current pipeline cannot answer: which criterion, applied to which part of this candidate's file, produced this rejection.\n>\n> The instrument, described without assumed vocabulary: the employer's selection criteria are pinned to a cryptographic hash, so the version a candidate was screened under is beyond dispute, and the application file is hashed record by record. Several AI model seats — in the running exhibit, three seats across two model families — each receive the identical criteria and file, and must set out their reasoning criterion by criterion in a fixed, machine-readable form: whether each condition fired, on which document, which records were absent, and exactly what evidence would reverse the disposition. Ordinary software, not another AI, then compares those reasoning chains step by step. When two seats reach the same rejection for different stated reasons, the system declines to conclude and refers the file to a named human reviewer. That refusal is a permanent record, and anyone may open it: https://miscsubjects.com/receipt/inv_o6s0exhodd\n>\n> The result is that the basis for a rejection exists at decision time, by construction — the criteria that fired, the documents they fired on, what was absent, and what would reverse it — rather than being reconstructed at audit time or in discovery. A calibration study of thirty oracle-labelled synthetic cases through the production gate recorded zero wrongful authorisations, with its scope stated plainly: synthetic fixtures, a starting table, not a Uniform Guidelines validation study. The complete description, including what the instrument does not do — no bias audit, no adverse-impact analysis, no applicant-tracking integration — is here: https://miscsubjects.com/a/hiring-screen-disposition-record\n>\n> Should your team wish to examine it directly, a single bounded screening question — a criteria excerpt and a synthetic or redacted application file — sent to build@miscsubjects.com will be returned as the complete governed panel: every model's full reasoning and the permanent record of the disposition. Criticism of the method from employment-law practitioners and screening vendors is equally welcome, and will be treated as the more valuable reply.\n>\n> A note on provenance: this letter is published, in full, as an artifact on the article it concerns — the correspondence is part of the record, exactly as the dispositions it describes are. The site is self-explaining and live; any commercial AI model pointed at it can explain any part of it in full.
