Select fairness measures by context and assess: Which governance principle best frames this issue?
Competing fairness measures may require context-specific tradeoffs; no single metric establishes trustworthiness.
The question
A travel-support model routes refund requests. Its overall accuracy meets the target, but approval rates differ between traveler groups, and management is considering calibration of individual risk estimates. Which governance principle best frames this issue?

- Treat accuracy as sufficient evidence of trustworthy operation.Accuracy does not establish fairness, reliability across groups, or broader trustworthiness when approval rates differ.
- Select fairness measures by context and assess their tradeoffs. ✓Group parity and individual calibration can require different system behavior. Governance should identify relevant harms, affected parties, and the context-specific balance.
- Use calibration as the sole fairness test for individual decisions.Calibration does not eliminate group disparities or address every relevant fairness concern.
- Use equal approval rates as proof that each decision is fair.Equal group rates can coexist with inaccurate, poorly calibrated, or harmful individual decisions.
The trap
When fairness metrics conflict, evaluate context, affected parties, harms, and tradeoffs rather than selecting one metric automatically. How to remember it
Competing fairness measures may require context-specific tradeoffs; no single metric establishes trustworthiness.
