Monitor downstream uses against the approved screening: Which missing control most directly addresses the
Monitoring actual downstream use reveals and supports response to repurposing beyond the model’s approved screening purpose.
The question
An employment-screening model is approved only to prioritize applications for recruiter review. Monitoring shows recruiters exporting scores into promotion discussions, an unrelated downstream use. Assume model testing, approved-purpose documentation, and ordinary access controls are complete. Which missing control most directly addresses the observed risk?

- Increase recruiter training on interpreting screening scores.Interpretation training may reduce misunderstanding, but it does not detect or control exporting scores into unrelated decisions.
- Monitor downstream uses against the approved screening purpose. ✓Monitoring downstream use directly detects and supports response to repurposing outside the approved employment-screening context.
- Add promotion variables to the screening model’s validation dataset.Adding promotion variables could validate a different system, but it legitimizes neither the current repurposing nor its governance.
- Recalibrate the model for promotion decisions.Recalibration might support a separately approved use, but it does not address unauthorized downstream use of screening scores.
The trap
When outputs are reused for a new purpose, prioritize monitoring and controlling actual use against the approved purpose. How to remember it
Monitoring actual downstream use reveals and supports response to repurposing beyond the model’s approved screening purpose.
