Named jurisdictional law · NYC Local Law 144.

NYC Local Law 144 requires an independent bias audit of any automated employment decision tool (AEDT) used to screen candidates or employees in NYC, within the prior year, plus public posting of a summary of results and notice to candidates. It is one of the few laws that mandates a genuine third-party audit. Planisphere produces a reproducible evidence record of selection rates that a qualified independent auditor can verify; it does not perform the independent audit, issue the audit summary, or certify compliance.

record the duty · seal the receipt · verify offline

Planisphere records each duty event — an output marked, a disclosure shown, a review made — and seals it into a receipt that verifies offline against our published keys. You send hashes, never content. A record is evidence a third party can check; it is not a certification and not a legal determination.
