01 / The right delivery model

For HR leaders, independent auditors and enterprise AI teams.

Choose the way you want HAIEC to work for you. The calculation and evidence principles remain consistent, while the work, ownership and engagement differ.

Select your solution

Professional service · By availability

A scoped independent audit, professionally delivered.

For employers and HR teams that want a qualified bias-audit engagement, documented calculations and publication-ready outputs without assembling their own audit operations.

  • AEDT boundary, data readiness and analysis method
  • Independent professional review and signed findings when issued
  • Versioned calculations, evidence package and public summary support
Outcome and ownership

Auditor-reviewed findings with traceable evidence.

HAIEC scopes the engagement and checks professional availability. Employer remains responsible for notices and approved public disclosures, with HAIEC assistance under agreed scope.

Engagement dates are not automatically reserved by submitting a request.
02 / Deterministic proof

The audit record, the evidence package and the public reference.

Three related objects serve different purposes. Together they help HR, legal, procurement and auditors inspect what was calculated, which source and method supported it, and which record can be verified.

Illustrative audit summary

Selection rate comparison

Demonstration values for a single group comparison. An issued statutory report also requires the applicable sex, race/ethnicity and intersectional analyses, data-source details and disclosed limitations.

An impact ratio is one statistical result, not a stand-alone finding of unlawful discrimination or a formal audit completion.
03 / Inspect the calculation

The numbers should be reproducible, not mysterious.

Change the example selection counts to inspect the impact-ratio calculation. This educational calculator demonstrates why the denominator, comparison group and underlying data must be retained with the finding.

The four-fifths ratio can signal a disparity worthy of review. It does not by itself certify LL144 compliance or determine employment discrimination.

04 / For enterprises and audit practices

One annual audit is a point in time. Build an evidence trail between audits.

Use HAIEC software for statistical monitoring, change analysis and audit-preparation evidence across the authorized ATS and hiring decision flows your organization connects.

05 / NYC LL144 obligations

Three duties. One connected evidence program.

The regulatory requirements belong to the employer or employment agency using a covered automated employment decision tool. HAIEC provides software and professional services for the applicable workflow.

01

Independent bias audit

A covered AEDT must be subjected to an independent bias audit within one year before its use, using the applicable selection/scoring and impact ratio calculations.

02

Advance candidate notice

Employers and agencies must provide the prescribed notice at least 10 business days before the covered AEDT is used, with required information and request procedures.

03

Public Summary of Results

Publish the required statistical summary and source/audit details through the employer's appropriate public employment website, subject to the rule's requirements.

Source: NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. The required public Summary of Results and HAIEC's Public Evidence Reference are separate records.

06 / Audit engagement

From the first scope question to evidence your reviewer can use.

Service capacity is planned in advance. We confirm availability, data readiness and engagement scope before assigning the review and delivery window.

01

Availability and scope

Check requested window, AEDT versions, job decisions and responsible employer.

02

Data qualification

Agree the data source, demographic categories, exclusions and usable periods.

03

Deterministic analysis

Calculate required rates and impact ratios using a documented versioned method.

04

Professional review

Review findings, unknowns and independence conditions; issue signed artifacts where applicable.

05

Publish and sustain

Support the Summary of Results, evidence verification and audit renewal plan.

07 / Published HAIEC research

Reproducibility is an assurance advantage.

HAIEC's published technical paper explains deterministic bias detection in job descriptions, version-controlled methods and verifiable records. It complements the formal statistical audit workflow rather than replacing it.

09 / Questions before engagement

Answers for HR, counsel, audit firms and enterprise teams.

Practical distinctions between the annual independent audit, software operations, ongoing monitoring and public record verification.

How do audit availability requests work?

HAIEC scopes and pre-books professional bias-audit engagements. Your form requests a preferred timeframe, but it does not reserve a date. Availability and scope are confirmed after review.

Is a software calculation the independent LL144 audit?

No. The software supplies calculations, evidence and workflow tools. The formal independent bias audit is a separately reviewed professional engagement with its own findings and scope.

Can independent audit firms use HAIEC software?

Yes. Audit practitioners can request a tailored demonstration of statistical calculations, evidence packages, multi-engagement workflow support and artifact verification. Availability of particular firm-scale features is confirmed in the demo.

Does continuous monitoring replace the annual audit?

No. Monitoring helps track signals and evidence between reviews. It does not replace the LL144 requirement for a qualifying independent bias audit within one year before use.

What exactly does the public Artifact ID verify?

A HAIEC-issued evidence identifier can support checking the status and integrity of the issued artifact. It is not a NYC government license, proof that every source record was accurate, or a substitute for the employer's public Summary of Results.

Which hiring platforms can connect?

The product includes documented Greenhouse, Lever and Workday webhook adapters as well as generic webhook, API and CSV paths. Specific setup, data mapping and source permissions are scoped to your environment.

What if our candidate data is incomplete?

Data readiness is assessed with the engagement. Missing demographic groups, exclusions, source limitations and insufficient sample data should be recorded rather than hidden behind a favorable ratio.

What does deterministic mean in a bias audit?

Accepted fixed data, calculation configuration, analysis date and methodology version support reproducible scoped calculations and evidence digests. It does not mean the underlying hiring AI is deterministic or automatically fair.
