When an algorithm denies someone's benefits, due process still applies. AVAAS certifies the algorithm.
Government increasingly decides eligibility, benefit amounts, and fraud through automated systems. When those systems are wrong, people lose food assistance, healthcare, or unemployment support they are entitled to. AVAAS certifies the system at the point it decides for a claimant.
The decision point in public benefits
In government, the AI acts when it determines eligibility, calculates a benefit, or flags a claimant for fraud. A wrong automated decision can cut off food, healthcare, or income.
When an automated system denies a benefit, due process still applies, and the agency has to explain and defend the decision the algorithm made.
What keeps agencies exposed
A system denies benefits without a real explanation
Constitutional due process does not pause for automation. An unexplained denial is a legal liability and a human harm.
One model error multiplies across a population
An automated system applies the same flaw to everyone it touches, turning a single defect into thousands of wrongful decisions.
Rights-affecting AI now carries testing mandates
OMB M-25-21 directs agencies to test and manage high-impact, rights-affecting AI, and to hold contractors to it.
Evidence the system meets due process
Can a denial be explained to the person and a court?
AVAAS evaluates whether the system produces specific, accurate reasons rather than an opaque determination.
Does the model produce disparate or systemic error?
Five structurally independent validators test for demographic disparity and failure patterns using causal attribution.
Does it satisfy federal testing expectations?
AVAAS produces documented, third-party evidence aligned to the testing OMB now expects for rights-affecting AI.
You get documented, third-party evidence that an automated eligibility or fraud system meets the due-process duties the public sector cannot delegate to a model.
