For selection or classification outputs, 6 RCNY §5-301 requires selection rates and impact ratios. For scoring outputs, it requires the full-sample median, scoring rates and impact ratios. Scoring rate is the rate at which individuals in a category receive a score above the sample median.
Side-by-side
| Question | Selection / classification | Scoring |
|---|---|---|
| Primary rate | Selection rate | Scoring rate |
| Population benchmark | Most selected category | Full-sample median, then highest scoring category |
| Impact ratio | Category selection rate ÷ highest selection rate | Category scoring rate ÷ highest scoring rate |
Why output mapping matters
Auditors should not force a score-based workflow into a binary-selection model or vice versa. The audit should document what the AEDT actually outputs and how the employer or agency uses that output.
Frequently asked questions
It is the rate at which individuals in a category receive a score above the full sample's median score.
It is the rate at which individuals in a category move forward in the hiring process or are assigned a classification by an AEDT.
Potentially. If an AEDT produces multiple relevant outputs or groups, the applicable calculation set must be mapped to the actual workflow and rule requirements.
