Obtain use-case tests covering applicant subgroups: Which evidence should it require?
Require deployment-relevant subgroup testing plus proof that reviewers can access information needed for oversight.
The question
An employer is evaluating a supplier’s AI screening tool. The developer reports high validation accuracy but does not disclose which applicant populations were represented, and the deployer cannot determine whether explanations are available to reviewers. Before approval, the employer needs evidence about both subgroup applicability and oversight feasibility. Which evidence should it require?

- Use an industry benchmark comparing products, with subgroup statistics and demonstrations of reviewer intervention workflows.A market benchmark may offer useful context, but it does not establish this tool’s performance on the employer’s population or its actual intervention pathway.
- Require supplier documentation of intended users, limitations, and explanation availability.Documentation clarifies claims and limitations, but without subgroup testing and an operational review exercise it may not establish applicability or usable oversight.
- Request a larger overall validation sample.A larger undisclosed sample may improve precision while leaving subgroup representation and reviewer information unresolved.
- Obtain use-case tests covering applicant subgroups and reviewer access to explanations. ✓This directly addresses population applicability and whether reviewers can obtain the information needed to assess outputs.
The trap
When supplier evidence is incomplete, require evidence mapped to the deployer’s population and oversight responsibilities. How to remember it
Require deployment-relevant subgroup testing plus proof that reviewers can access information needed for oversight.
