Bias Detection & Prioritization
Which biases should we look for, and which come first?
Decides which biases to look for in your system and which to address first.
What it does
You screen a catalogue of bias types, record how each was checked and what was found, and score confirmed biases on severity, scope, persistence, historical alignment and ease of fixing. The prioritised bias register feeds metric suggestions in Fairness Measurement.
Why it matters
This step identifies and classifies concrete bias mechanisms affecting the system and prioritizes them based on impact, severity, and feasibility of mitigation. It focuses attention on the most material sources of unfairness, preventing diffuse or unfocused intervention efforts.

How to use it
In the Fairness Navigator Beta
Work through the steps in order. Several modules open from the Navigator's steps and hand their results back.
On its own Live
Open 2.3.1 from the platform's Modules page and run it when your project needs it. Work is saved with the assessment.
After a Pulse reading Live
Start with a fast first read, then go deeper with the modules where it points.
