  1. Investigate the disparity before drawing a legal conclusion. ✓
    An initial disparity is a signal requiring examination of data quality, causes, and applicable employment theories; it is not by itself a completed legal finding.
  2. Treat the difference as proof of unlawful treatment.
    The incomplete signal does not by itself establish intent, causation, or a legally actionable disparate-treatment or disparate-impact finding.
  3. Dismiss the difference because shift scheduling is operational.
    Operational scheduling can still produce employment disparities and therefore warrants review under applicable employment rules.
  4. Declare the system lawful after correcting the sample and recalculating results.
    Better sampling may clarify the evidence, but it cannot alone resolve job relatedness, business necessity, alternatives, or other legal questions.
The trap
Separate evidence that triggers investigation from evidence sufficient to establish a legal conclusion.

How to remember it
