Subject, version, scope, evaluator, threshold, artifact.
Use cases follow responsibility, not industry theater
Different teams. One evidence record.
Engineering produces results. Reviewers decide what those results support. Assurance owners carry findings, limits, and approvals into the decision. FairMind keeps those handoffs in one system-scoped chain.
Candidate mapping, decision, rationale, limitations.
Findings, remediation, exceptions, retests, approvals.
The same result has different jobs to do.
Open a workflow to see the broken handoff FairMind addresses and the evidence the receiving team should get.
Engineering · bind a test to the right subject
Broken handoff:
Evaluator output exists, but the model version, dataset or prompt scope, threshold, and raw artifact are scattered across tools.
- Create the AI-system boundary before interpreting the result.
- Record evaluator and metric versions plus the pre-registered threshold.
- Preserve the raw artifact, limitation, and capability state.
Review · decide whether evidence supports a control
Broken handoff:
A technical pass is being treated like an accepted governance mapping without independent review or rationale.
- Route candidate mappings to an accountable reviewer.
- Accept, reject, or narrow the mapping with recorded rationale.
- Reuse accepted evidence across versioned frameworks without inferring conformity.
Safety · retain findings through remediation and retest
Broken handoff:
A clean rerun replaces the failed result, leaving no durable history of what happened or why the change was accepted.
- Create a finding and risk from the bounded result.
- Assign remediation, owner, exception, and due state.
- Link the clean retest to the failure instead of overwriting it.
Assurance · compile a package for a real decision
Broken handoff:
Evidence is assembled manually at review time, with unclear freshness, framework version, exclusions, and unresolved blockers.
- Pin framework and catalog versions.
- Compile the evidence index at a stated cutoff.
- Expose limitations, unresolved findings, policies, approvals, and missing evidence.
Research · keep methods and claim limits attached
Broken handoff:
A smoke run, fixture, or metadata transformation is easy to overstate after it leaves the experiment notebook.
- Preserve method, environment, measurement status, and uncertainty.
- Label fixture-only and metadata-only outputs precisely.
- Require observed evidence before promoting a research claim.
What FairMind is not for.
It is not a replacement for every evaluator, not a legal conformity engine, not an automated approver, and not a place where missing data quietly becomes “not biased.”
