Published standard price: $4,950 for one AEDT within the standard scope described below. Comparable annual renewals start at $3,950. If the organization is not yet audit-ready, a separate Audit Readiness Review can be scoped before the full audit.
Standard Independent Bias Audit — $4,950
The standard price assumes:
- One AEDT.
- One employer or employment-agency deployment context.
- One defined audit period and validated dataset.
- An identified hiring and/or promotion workflow.
- A supported AEDT output type under the implemented methodology.
- Historical data compatible with the intake specification, or a separately reviewed permitted data basis.
What the standard engagement includes
- Scope confirmation and independence review.
- Controlled data-intake and validation review.
- Applicable selection/scoring rates and impact-ratio calculations.
- Sex, race/ethnicity and required intersectional analysis for the supported output type.
- Professional audit review.
- Technical audit report.
- Publication-ready Summary of Results support.
- Methodology and independence disclosures appropriate to the engagement.
Not audit-ready yet? Start with an Audit Readiness Review
This option is designed for organizations that may have LL144 exposure but cannot yet provide a reliable audit dataset or do not yet know whether historical data, test data, job grouping or output structure is suitable for the audit.
- Preliminary AEDT/use-case scope screen.
- Dataset and field-structure review.
- Identification of missing or ambiguous audit fields.
- Historical-data versus test-data issue spotting.
- Job/grouping and deployment-context review.
- Remediation roadmap before the independent bias audit.
The Audit Readiness Review is not itself the LL144 bias audit and does not produce a public Summary of Results.

Additional AEDTs and complex scope
| Engagement | Published price |
|---|---|
| Standard initial audit — 1 AEDT | $4,950 |
| Additional AEDT in the same compatible engagement | +$1,500 per additional AEDT, subject to scope |
| Comparable annual renewal | From $3,950 |
| Complex / multi-system / materially changed deployment | Custom quote |
| Expedited review | +$1,500, subject to capacity and data readiness |
Typical turnaround
Standard: 7–10 business days after both scope confirmation and receipt of a complete, validated dataset.
Expedited: from 5 business days, subject to capacity, scope and data readiness.
The published turnaround clock does not begin while required data remains incomplete, materially inconsistent or unsuitable for the agreed analysis.
When the $4,950 standard scope no longer applies
A custom quote may be required when the engagement includes materially different tool versions, multiple deployment contexts, multiple distinct audit populations, extensive data reconstruction, complex test-data development, unsupported or novel output architectures, unusual grouping requirements, litigation support, legal-opinion work or other services beyond the contracted LL144 bias-audit scope.
Important: record count alone does not determine complexity. A smaller dataset with unclear output semantics or broken demographic mapping can require more work than a much larger, well-structured dataset.
Annual renewal
A covered AEDT may not be used or continue to be used when more than one year has passed since the most recent bias audit. Returning clients with a comparable system and workflow may qualify for renewal pricing from $3,950 after a renewal scope check.

Pricing FAQ
The published standard price is $4,950 for one AEDT within the stated standard scope.
Multiple AEDTs, materially different deployment contexts, extensive data reconstruction, novel output architectures, complex test-data development or other work outside the standard scope can require a custom quote.
The published 7–10 business-day timeline starts after scope confirmation and receipt of a complete, validated dataset.
Fastest way to obtain a final quote
Provide the AEDT/vendor name, the hiring or promotion use case, the output type if known, approximate record count, whether historical data exists, the number of relevant deployment contexts and the target deadline.
