The assessment omits evaluation of potential harms: Which gap should the reviewer flag as most critical before
The critical gap is the missing analysis of harms to affected individuals and how those harms would be mitigated.
The question
A governance reviewer receives a completed impact assessment for a tenant-screening model that documents the system's purpose, data sources, and accuracy metrics, but says nothing about how errors would affect rejected applicants or how those harms would be mitigated. Which gap should the reviewer flag as most critical before approving deployment?

- The assessment omits the model's exact inference cost per query and the total projected monthly cloud compute bill for running it at production scale.Plausible as operational detail, but cost figures are not the substance of an impact assessment of harms to individuals.
- The assessment omits the résumés and detailed credentials of the data scientists who originally designed and trained the model.Plausible as governance context, but team credentials are not a required component of the impact assessment's harm analysis.
- The assessment omits evaluation of potential harms to affected individuals and the mitigations for them, which is core to any impact assessment. ✓Correct because assessing effects and harms on affected people plus mitigations is the essence of an impact assessment, and its absence is the critical gap.
- The assessment omits a competitor comparison showing how rival tenant-screening products perform on the same accuracy benchmarks.Plausible as market research, but benchmarking against competitors is a commercial exercise, not the harm-and-mitigation core of the assessment.
The trap
Treating documented purpose and accuracy metrics as a complete impact assessment while overlooking harms to people. How to remember it
The critical gap is the missing analysis of harms to affected individuals and how those harms would be mitigated.
