1. The system’s average recognition accuracy across test images.

   Accuracy may describe performance, but it cannot determine whether the system infers emotions, verifies identity, or falls within a prohibited practice’s conditions.
2. The documented purpose, inference method, affected decision, and operating context. ✓

   Those facts identify what the system does, how it operates, and where it is used, enabling the required prohibition-versus-high-risk analysis.
3. The supplier’s statement that workplace safety is the intended benefit.

   A beneficial objective does not resolve whether facial analysis infers emotions, verifies identity, or triggers a specified prohibition under the applicable conditions.
4. A human reviewer’s sign-off after deployment begins.

   Later oversight may support controls, but it does not establish the legal characterization needed before deciding whether the practice is prohibited or high-risk.

How to remember it

The decisive evidence describes function, method, context, and decision impact; accuracy or safety claims alone cannot classify the practice.
