What would need to be proven?
The following mappings are analysis. Candidate evidence is not proof that a vendor satisfies an obligation, and hardware attestation alone does not establish legal compliance.
- Claim to examine
- A developer/deployer supplied required documents and notices for a covered ADMT consequential decision.
- Candidate evidence
- Scope assessment, developer documentation, notices, adverse-outcome records, correction/review requests, and rulemaking record.
- Possible approach
- Map evidence to definitions, exemptions, effective date, and cited provisions.
- Assumptions
- Use is covered ADMT materially influencing a consequential decision and no exemption controls.
- Limits and open questions
- Does not resolve interim 2026 regime, agency rules, or liability.
