Adverse Impact, Measured
Whether your process passes different groups at different rates. How to measure it, what the numbers mean, and what to do about a gap.
Fairness

Accessibility and Adjustments
Assessments create barriers the job does not. What to offer, what to ask, and why proactive beats responsive.
Language, and What You Are Actually Testing
Assessments written in complex English test English. Where that matters for the job and where it silently excludes.
Experience Proxies and What They Exclude

Anxiety degrades performance on assessments more than on the job. What that means for what you are measuring, and what reduces it.
