- Provide only a technical account of model architecture.Architecture may describe the system, but it does not explain the applicant’s ranking or document operational events.
- Publish system operation records without decision reasoning.Records may show what happened, but applicants also need information about how their rankings were produced.
- Provide process facts and applicant-specific decision reasoning. ✓Transparency addresses what happened, while explainability addresses how the applicant’s decision was made.
- Offer contextual meaning without documenting system events.Interpretation can clarify meaning, but omitting operational facts leaves the transparency requirement unmet.
