You attest fairness by measuring the model's predictions and error rates across the relevant cohorts on a fixed probe set, documenting any disparity, and showing ongoing monitoring for drift — a reproducible, comparable record rather than a one-time claim. Planisphere generates that cross-cohort behaviour-and-drift evidence as a sha-pinned record; it surfaces disparity and change for your review and mitigation, but "fair" is your policy and legal judgment, not a Planisphere certification.
