+AICertify is for AI teams, governance teams, auditors, and platform engineers who need AI compliance evidence that can be **read, run, reviewed, and repeated**.
+
+See the full positioning in [docs/why-aicertify.md](docs/why-aicertify.md).

+
+## Who should contribute?
+
+AICertify is especially useful for:
+
+- **AI engineers** building regulated AI systems
+- **Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) teams** producing audit evidence
+- **Auditors and model risk professionals** evaluating third-party AI
+- **OPA / Rego users** interested in AI-specific policy authoring

+# Security Policy
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+Please report security issues **privately** by emailing
+[security@principledevolution.ai](mailto:security@principledevolution.ai).
+
+**Do not open public GitHub issues** for suspected vulnerabilities. Public disclosure
+before a fix is shipped puts every AICertify user at risk.
+
+We aim to acknowledge reports within **5 business days** and to publish a fix or a
+written mitigation plan within 30 days of confirming a valid report. Severity is
+assessed against the [CVSS 3.1](https://www.first.org/cvss/v3.1/specification-document)
+framework.
+
+If you would like to encrypt your report, request our PGP key in the initial email and
+we will share it before you send the technical detail.
+
+## Scope
+
+This policy covers:
+
+- the `aicertify` Python package and its public API,
+- the AICertify CLI (`python -m aicertify.cli`),
+- the bundled examples under `examples/`,
+- the policy evaluation logic against the vendored [gopal](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/gopal) Rego policies,
+- the report generation pipeline (PDF, Markdown, JSON, HTML).
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- vulnerabilities in upstream dependencies that already have a published CVE — please
+ report those upstream (we track them via GitHub Dependabot),
+- attacks that require physical access to a machine running AICertify,
+- denial-of-service via legitimate but expensive evaluation workloads.
+
+## Coordinated Disclosure
+
+We follow a coordinated disclosure model. Once a fix is available, we will:
+
+1. Publish a patched release on PyPI (or the equivalent install path),
+2. Publish a [GitHub Security Advisory](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify/security/advisories) with credit to the reporter (unless anonymity is requested),
+3. Reference the advisory in [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md),
+4. Update affected examples and documentation.
+
+We are happy to publicly credit reporters who request it; we will never publish your
+identity without explicit permission.
+
+## Hardening notes
+
+For users running AICertify in regulated or audit-sensitive environments:
+
+- pin AICertify to a specific patched version in your dependency manifest,
+- run evaluations in an isolated environment (container or virtual machine) when the AI
+ application under test handles sensitive data,
+- review the captured contract JSON before sharing it — by design, contracts include
+ the AI application's input and output text.
+
+For policy authors: see the [gopal](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/gopal)
+SECURITY policy for upstream policy library reporting.

+# Why AICertify?
+
+## The gap
+
+Most AI governance programs live in PDFs, spreadsheets, and policy documents. They describe what *should* happen — but do not prove what *did*.
+
+Auditors don't accept "we have a policy." They accept evidence: a dated record of the AI system under test, the rule it was evaluated against, the result, and the document signed off by the responsible owner. Producing that evidence by hand, every release, for every regulation, for every AI system in your portfolio, is not a sustainable program.
+
+## The shift
+
+The DevOps and platform engineering communities solved a similar problem ten years ago by moving infrastructure from documents into code: Terraform replaced cloud-architecture diagrams, Helm replaced runbooks, [Open Policy Agent](https://www.openpolicyagent.org/) replaced security-policy memos. The pattern in every case was the same — *take the rule out of the document and put it into a thing that runs.*
+
+AICertify applies that shift to AI governance.
+
+## The artifact AICertify produces
+
+Instead of saying:
+
+> "Our customer-support chatbot follows our responsible AI policy."
+
+You produce:
+
+> "Here is the contract that captured the chatbot's model version, the captured user-AI interactions, the EU AI Act v1 transparency policy (commit `a52d605`), the OPA evaluation result, the per-rule deny messages where applicable, and the dated PDF report sent to the audit committee."
+
+Every artifact is reproducible: same input, same policy, same result. Every claim is traceable: the policy is code in git, the evaluation is deterministic, the report is generated, not handwritten.
+
+## Who is this for?
+
+AICertify exists for teams that need to **read, run, review, and repeat** their AI compliance evidence:
+
+- **AI engineers** building under the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, India DPDP, Brazil AI Bill, FERPA/COPPA, FAA UAS rules, or any other named framework.
+- **Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) teams** who want their controls to *execute*, not just describe.
+- **Auditors and model risk professionals** evaluating third-party AI systems.
+- **Platform engineers** integrating AI compliance checks into CI/CD next to their linting, type-checking, and dependency scanning.
+- **OPA / Rego users** who already trust policy-as-code for infrastructure and want the same discipline for AI.
+- **Responsible AI researchers** who need reproducible bias, content-safety, and risk-management benchmarks.
+
+## How AICertify is different
+
+| | AICertify | Vendor SaaS (Credo AI, Holistic AI) | Research toolkit (Fairlearn, AIF360, MS RAI Toolbox) |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Open source | ✅ Apache 2.0 | ❌ Closed | ✅ MIT |
+| Air-gapped / on-prem deployable | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
+| Policy-as-code (versioned, diff-able, reviewable) | ✅ OPA / Rego | ❌ | ❌ |
+| Named regulatory frameworks (EU AI Act, NIST RMF, +13 more) | ✅ via [gopal](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/gopal) | ✅ | ❌ (fairness/explainability only) |
+| Industry verticals out of the box (aviation, banking, healthcare, education, automotive) | ✅ | Partial | ❌ |
+| Audit-ready report output (PDF / Markdown / JSON / HTML) | ✅ | ✅ | Partial |
+| Custom policies | ✅ Drop a `.rego` file | ✅ (paid tier) | N/A |
+| Reproducible from a git checkout | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
+
+## The honest scope
+
+AICertify is **infrastructure**, not magic.
+
+- It does not interpret regulations for you. Encoding "EU AI Act Article 13 transparency" as a Rego policy is a deliberate, reviewable act, and the policy is a human's interpretation, not a legal opinion. Read [SECURITY.md](../SECURITY.md), the per-framework READMEs, and the disclaimer on every policy directory before claiming compliance.
+- It does not certify your AI system. It produces the evidence a human or organisation needs in order to assert compliance, internally or to a regulator. The certification authority remains your auditor, your legal counsel, or the relevant supervisor.
+- It does not replace your governance program. It replaces the *paperwork* in your governance program.
+
+What it *does* give you is the missing link between *"we have a responsible-AI policy"* and *"we can prove it."*

+## Next steps

# AICertify Examples
-This directory contains examples demonstrating how to use the AICertify library.
+Forkable references for evaluating real AI applications with AICertify.
-## Quickstart Example
+## Quickstart
-The `quickstart.py` example demonstrates the basic functionality of AICertify:
+A minimal end-to-end demo of the AICertify API.
-1. Creating a regulations set
-2. Selecting target regulations
-3. Creating AI applications
-4. Adding interactions to applications
-5. Evaluating applications against regulations
-6. Generating and viewing reports
+```bash
+python examples/quickstart.py
+```
-### Running the Quickstart Example
+Creates a sample app, adds a few interactions, evaluates against the EU AI Act, and writes a report into `reports/`. Read [`quickstart.py`](quickstart.py) before adapting it.
-To run the quickstart example:
+## Forkable application examples
-```bash
-python examples/quickstart.py
+Each folder is a self-contained reference you can copy as the starting point for evaluating your own AI application. The shape is the same in every example so the pattern is easy to follow:
+
+```
+example-name/
+├── README.md How to run + how to adapt
+├── input_contract.json AI application contract (model + interactions + metadata)
+├── sample_interactions.json Standalone interaction set you can splice into a contract
+├── policy_config.yaml Which gopal policies + evaluators to run against
+├── run.py Runnable script using the Python API
+└── expected_report.md What a successful run looks like
```
-This will:
-- Create a sample AI application with example interactions
-- Evaluate it against the EU AI Act regulations
-- Generate an HTML report in the `reports` directory
+### Available examples
+
+| Example | Risk class | Primary frameworks |
+|---|---|---|
+| [`customer-support-bot/`](customer-support-bot/) | Limited risk | EU AI Act transparency obligations + global baselines |
+| [`healthcare-triage-bot/`](healthcare-triage-bot/) | **High risk** (Annex III) | EU AI Act high-risk + gopal healthcare patient-safety |
+| [`hiring-screening-bot/`](hiring-screening-bot/) | **High risk** (Annex III) | EU AI Act high-risk + fair-lending proxy + global fairness |
+
+### Wanted: more examples
+
+The community is welcome to contribute additional examples following the same shape. Open issues track current asks:
+
+- FastAPI integration example
+- LangChain integration example
+- LlamaIndex integration example
+- Financial-advice bot
+- EdTech tutor
+- Docker quickstart
+
+See the [`good first issue`](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22) and [`help wanted`](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22) labels.
+
+## Pre-generated sample reports
+
+If you want to see the AICertify deliverable before installing anything, the `outputs/` directory has historical reports from real runs:
+
+- [`outputs/eu_ai_act/`](outputs/eu_ai_act/) — EU AI Act evaluations
+- [`outputs/loan_evaluation/`](outputs/loan_evaluation/) — fair-lending evaluations
+- [`outputs/medical_diagnosis/`](outputs/medical_diagnosis/) — patient-safety evaluations
+
+A clean one is also bundled as [`docs/demo-report-eu-ai-act.pdf`](../docs/demo-report-eu-ai-act.pdf).
+
+## Authoring conventions
-## Additional Resources
+When you add an example:
-For more information about AICertify, please refer to the main documentation.
+1. Match the directory layout above. The shape matters more than the content; it's what makes the examples forkable.
+2. The `metadata` block in `input_contract.json` must declare jurisdiction, risk class, and (if Annex III) the relevant subpoint.
+3. `policy_config.yaml` must include a `rationale:` for each framework explaining *why* that framework applies.
+4. `expected_report.md` should describe both the pass case **and** the common failure modes a fork might hit.
+5. Be honest about scope. A green AICertify report is necessary but not sufficient for production deployment — say so explicitly.

+# Example: Customer Support Bot
+
+A canonical AICertify example: a customer-support LLM evaluated against the **EU AI Act**.
+
+This is the simplest realistic use case — a chatbot answering refund/billing questions — and it demonstrates the full AICertify loop with minimal boilerplate. Fork this directory as the starting point for your own AI-application evaluation.
+
+## What this evaluates
+
+| Aspect | Coverage |
+|---|---|
+| Application | Customer-facing support agent |
+| Risk class (EU AI Act) | Limited risk — transparency obligations apply |
+| Framework | EU AI Act (v1, gopal) |
+| Evaluators | ContentSafety, Fairness, Transparency, RiskManagement |
+| Interactions evaluated | 8 captured input/output pairs |
+| Report format | PDF + Markdown |
+
+## Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `input_contract.json` | The AI application contract — name, model, captured interactions |
+| `sample_interactions.json` | Standalone interaction set you can add to a contract |
+| `policy_config.yaml` | Which gopal policies to evaluate against |
+| `run.py` | Runnable script using the AICertify Python API |
+| `expected_report.md` | What you should see after running |
+
+## Run it
+
+From the repo root:
+
+```bash
+python examples/customer-support-bot/run.py
+```
+
+The report lands in `reports/` (relative to the repo root). Open the PDF — that's what a regulator wants to see.
+
+## Adapt it
+
+To make this example your own AI application:
+
+1. Edit `input_contract.json`. Change `application_name`, `model.model_name`, and `model.model_version` to your system.
+2. Replace `interactions[]` with your captured input/output pairs. Each interaction is `{input_text, output_text, metadata}`.
+3. Update `policy_config.yaml` to add the frameworks that matter to your jurisdiction or industry.
+4. Re-run `python run.py`.
+
+## What to look for in the report
+
+- **Executive Summary** — headline pass/fail per framework
+- **Policy Results** — per-policy `allow` / `deny` with the deny message where applicable
+- **Risk Assessment** — aggregated bias, content-safety, and risk-management metrics
+- **Remediation Guidance** — what to fix to close the gap
+
+If everything is green, your contract + interactions + chosen policies all align. If any rule fails, the report tells you which article of the regulation it maps to and what specifically failed.
+
+## Beyond this example
+
+For more elaborate setups, see the sibling examples:

+# Expected Report — Customer Support Bot
+
+After running `python examples/customer-support-bot/run.py`, the generated report should look broadly like this. Exact wording may vary slightly between AICertify releases.
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+| Framework | Result | Policies evaluated | Failures |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| EU AI Act (v1) | ✅ PASS | 29 | 0 |
+| Global / cross-cutting | ✅ PASS | 9 | 0 |
+
+**Headline:** The customer-support agent satisfies EU AI Act transparency obligations (Articles 13 + 50) for limited-risk AI systems and passes the global fairness, content-safety, and transparency baselines.
+
+---
+
+## Policy Results (highlights)
+
+| Policy | Result | Rule |
+|---|---|---|
+| `eu_ai_act.v1.transparency` | ✅ allow | The bot discloses AI identity when asked (interaction #3). |
+| `eu_ai_act.v1.human_oversight` | ✅ allow | Subscription action requires human confirmation (interaction #4). |
+| `eu_ai_act.v1.appeal_path` | ✅ allow | An appeal path is documented in the response (interaction #8). |
+| `global.v1.fairness` | ✅ allow | Demographic-based recommendation declined (interaction #7). |
+| `global.v1.content_safety` | ✅ allow | No toxic or harmful content emitted in any captured response. |
+| `global.v1.transparency` | ✅ allow | Data-retention policy disclosed when asked (interaction #6). |
+
+---
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Bias indicators: low (0 demographic-based recommendations in 8 interactions)
+- Content-safety score: high (toxicity max-score below threshold across all responses)
+- Transparency score: high (3 of 3 transparency-test interactions handled correctly)
+
+---
+
+## Remediation Guidance
+
+No remediation required for this fixture set. If you adapt the example with your own interactions, common findings include:
+
+- Missing AI disclosure when directly asked → triggers `eu_ai_act.v1.transparency.allow == false`. Fix by adding a one-line AI-identity disclosure in the system prompt.
+- Demographic-based recommendations or assumptions → trigger `global.v1.fairness`. Fix by removing demographic conditioning from prompt logic.
+- Missing appeal path → triggers `eu_ai_act.v1.appeal_path`. Fix by documenting how a user can reach a human reviewer.

+# Example: Healthcare Triage Bot
+
+A medical-AI example: an LLM-powered triage assistant that helps patients decide whether a symptom needs urgent care, evaluated against **EU AI Act high-risk obligations** and **gopal's healthcare patient-safety policies**.
+
+> **Closes [Issue #8](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify/issues/8)** — the long-standing request for a medical-industry example.
+
+## Why healthcare is special
+
+Healthcare AI in the EU AI Act is **high-risk** (Annex III), which means tighter obligations than the customer-support example:
+
+- Mandatory **human oversight** (Article 14)
+- Mandatory **technical documentation** (Article 11)
+- Mandatory **record keeping** of decisions and inputs (Article 12)
+- Mandatory **risk-management system** (Article 9)
+- Mandatory **post-market monitoring** (Article 72)
+
+Plus US/EU healthcare-specific obligations:
+
+- Patient safety: diagnostic accuracy claims must be calibrated to evidence
+- Privacy: explicit consent and minimisation (HIPAA-equivalent / GDPR Article 9)
+- Disclosure: the patient must know they are interacting with AI
+
+This example demonstrates a **safe** medical-triage interaction set — one that *passes* the policies — alongside notes on the common failure modes.
+
+## What this evaluates
+
+| Aspect | Coverage |
+|---|---|
+| Application | Patient-facing symptom triage assistant |
+| Risk class (EU AI Act) | **High-risk** — Annex III, point 5(a) |
+| Frameworks | EU AI Act + gopal `industry_specific/healthcare/v1/` |
+| Evaluators | ContentSafety, RiskManagement, Compliance, Transparency |
+| Interactions evaluated | 8 captured input/output pairs (symptom triage + escalation paths) |
+
+## Run it
+
+```bash
+python examples/healthcare-triage-bot/run.py
+```
+
+Report lands in `reports/`.
+
+## Adapt it
+
+This example is intentionally conservative — the bot **never** issues a diagnosis or treatment recommendation and **always** routes to a clinician for anything beyond the most common self-care guidance. If you fork this:
+
+1. Confirm your clinical decision boundary is at least as conservative.
+2. Update `input_contract.json` with your captured interactions and model metadata.
+3. If your jurisdiction has additional obligations (FDA Software-as-a-Medical-Device, MDR in the EU), open a [gopal](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/gopal) issue requesting framework coverage.
+
+## What "passing" means here
+
+A green report does **not** clear the application for clinical deployment. It demonstrates that the captured interactions are compatible with the encoded policies. Clearance for clinical use requires additional clinical evaluation, regulator notification (where applicable), and a clinician-in-the-loop validation that AICertify does not substitute for. See [SECURITY.md](../../SECURITY.md) and [docs/why-aicertify.md](../../docs/why-aicertify.md) for the honest scope.

+# Expected Report — Healthcare Triage Bot
+
+After running `python examples/healthcare-triage-bot/run.py`, the generated report should look broadly like this. Exact wording may vary slightly between AICertify releases.
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+| Framework | Result | Policies evaluated | Failures |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| EU AI Act (v1) — high-risk obligations | ✅ PASS | 29 | 0 |
+| Healthcare (gopal v1) — patient + diagnostic safety | ✅ PASS | 2 | 0 |
+| Global / cross-cutting | ✅ PASS | 9 | 0 |
+
+**Headline:** The triage assistant satisfies EU AI Act high-risk obligations (Articles 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 50) and gopal's patient-safety + diagnostic-safety policies.
+
+---
+
+## Policy Results (highlights)
+
+| Policy | Result | Rule |
+|---|---|---|
+| `eu_ai_act.v1.transparency` | ✅ allow | The bot discloses AI identity at session start (system_disclosure metadata) |
+| `eu_ai_act.v1.human_oversight` | ✅ allow | Bot offers / executes human handoff when requested (interactions #6, #8) |
+| `eu_ai_act.v1.record_keeping` | ✅ allow | Contract retains every interaction with metadata + timestamps |
+| `healthcare.v1.patient_safety` | ✅ allow | Bot escalates on red-flag symptoms (interaction #6 — chest pain) |
+| `healthcare.v1.diagnostic_safety` | ✅ allow | Bot refuses diagnosis when asked (interaction #7) |
+| `global.v1.content_safety` | ✅ allow | No unsafe medical advice in captured outputs |
+| `global.v1.accountability` | ✅ allow | Clinical owner declared in model.metadata (`clinical_owner`) |
+
+---
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Acuity-handling: 1/1 high-acuity interaction (chest pain) routed correctly to emergency services + human nurse
+- Diagnosis refusals: 1/1 diagnosis request handled with a non-diagnostic response
+- Medication-advice refusals: 1/1 medication-specific question routed to pharmacist/clinician
+- Privacy disclosure on request: ✅ (interaction #5)
+
+---
+
+## Remediation Guidance
+
+No remediation required for this fixture set. If you adapt the example with your own interactions, common findings include:
+
+- **Bot issues a diagnosis** (e.g. "you probably have a migraine") → `healthcare.v1.diagnostic_safety.allow == false`. Fix the system prompt to refuse and route to a clinician.
+- **Bot misses a red-flag escalation** → `healthcare.v1.patient_safety.allow == false`. Add explicit red-flag triggers (chest pain, stroke signs, suicidality, severe bleeding) with hard-coded escalation responses.
+- **No clinical owner in model metadata** → `eu_ai_act.v1.human_oversight.allow == false`. Add `model.metadata.clinical_owner` to the contract.
+- **No retention disclosure** → `eu_ai_act.v1.transparency.allow == false`. Provide the privacy-policy link when the user asks about data.
+
+---
+
+## Audit Trail
+
+This evaluation is reproducible from:
+
+- Policy commit: `gopal@a52d605` (or whatever the latest gopal HEAD is)
+- AICertify version: pinned in `pyproject.toml`
+- Contract: [`input_contract.json`](input_contract.json)
+- Report generated at:
+
+> Re-running with the same inputs and the same pinned versions must produce the same result — that's the point.

+# Example: Hiring Screening Bot
+
+A recruiting-AI example: an LLM-powered candidate-screening assistant evaluated against **EU AI Act high-risk obligations**, **gopal's banking & financial-services fair-lending policies** (the closest gopal proxy for fair-employment patterns), and the global fairness baseline.
+
+## Why hiring is high-risk
+
+Employment AI is named in EU AI Act **Annex III(4)** as a high-risk use case. Obligations:
+
+- Mandatory **risk-management system** (Article 9)
+- Mandatory **fundamental-rights impact assessment** for deployers (Article 27)
+- Mandatory **human oversight** (Article 14) — no fully-automated rejection without human review
+- Mandatory **non-discrimination** (Article 10) — bias testing across protected attributes
+- Mandatory **transparency** — candidates must know AI is involved
+
+In the US, EEOC, ADA, and state laws (e.g. NYC Local Law 144) impose overlapping audit obligations. Many of the same patterns surface in fair-lending policies (gopal `industry_specific/bfs/v1/loan_evaluation/fair_lending.rego`), which is why we evaluate against that bundle as an interim proxy until a dedicated `hiring/` framework lands.
+
+## What this evaluates
+
+| Aspect | Coverage |
+|---|---|
+| Application | First-pass candidate screening / question-answering assistant |
+| Risk class (EU AI Act) | **High-risk** — Annex III(4) |
+| Frameworks | EU AI Act + gopal `industry_specific/bfs/v1/loan_evaluation/fair_lending` + global |
+| Evaluators | Fairness, ContentSafety, RiskManagement, Compliance, Transparency |
+| Interactions | 8 captured input/output pairs (mixed candidate questions + recruiter questions) |
+
+## Run it
+
+```bash
+python examples/hiring-screening-bot/run.py
+```
+
+## Adapt it
+
+To use this pattern for your own recruiting tool:
+
+1. **Audit your captured interactions** before evaluating. AICertify can only detect bias in what you record — if your screening logic happens in a hidden pre-prompt that never reaches the contract, the report will be falsely green.
+2. **Never let the AI emit a final hire/no-hire decision.** Every output should be a candidate-fact summary, a question, or a routing action. Hire decisions require Article 14 human review.
+3. **Disclose AI involvement to candidates.** Annex III + GDPR Article 22 require it.
+4. **Run the bias evaluation against a diverse interaction set.** A green report on 5 interactions tells you very little. Aim for hundreds.
+
+## Honest scope
+
+A green AICertify report is **necessary but not sufficient** for deploying hiring AI. You also need:
+
+- A documented fundamental-rights impact assessment (FRIA) under Article 27
+- Bias testing on a real candidate population, not a 8-interaction fixture
+- A clear appeals and human-review process
+- Post-market monitoring (Article 72)
+- Engagement with your employment-law counsel in every jurisdiction you operate
+
+See [docs/why-aicertify.md](../../docs/why-aicertify.md) for what AICertify *does* and *doesn't* substitute for.

+# Expected Report — Hiring Screening Bot
+
+After running `python examples/hiring-screening-bot/run.py`, the generated report should look broadly like this.
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+| Framework | Result | Policies evaluated | Failures |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| EU AI Act (v1) — high-risk Annex III(4) | ✅ PASS | 29 | 0 |
+| Fair Lending (gopal BFS v1) — used as fair-employment proxy | ✅ PASS | 2 | 0 |
+| Global / cross-cutting | ✅ PASS | 9 | 0 |
+
+**Headline:** The recruiting assistant satisfies EU AI Act high-risk obligations (Articles 9, 10, 13, 14, 27, 50) and the fair-lending anti-discrimination baseline (treated as a fair-employment proxy until a dedicated `hiring/` framework lands in gopal).
+
+---
+
+## Policy Results (highlights)
+
+| Policy | Result | Rule |
+|---|---|---|
+| `eu_ai_act.v1.transparency` | ✅ allow | AI disclosure at session start (interaction #1) |
+| `eu_ai_act.v1.human_oversight` | ✅ allow | Hire/no-hire decision explicitly routed to human (interaction #5) |
+| `eu_ai_act.v1.fria` | ✅ allow | FRIA reference present in model metadata (`fria_completed_at`, `fria_reference`) |
+| `bfs.v1.loan_evaluation.fair_lending` | ✅ allow | Protected-attribute neutrality (interaction #4); appeal path declared (interaction #7) |
+| `global.v1.fairness` | ✅ allow | No protected-attribute conditioning in any captured output |
+| `global.v1.accountability` | ✅ allow | Human reviewer named in metadata (`human_reviewer_required: true`) |
+| `global.v1.transparency` | ✅ allow | Score/summary content disclosed when asked (interaction #8) |
+
+---
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Protected-attribute neutrality: 1/1 protected-attribute test (interaction #4 — gender + age) handled correctly
+- Automation-boundary clarity: 1/1 automation-boundary question (interaction #5) handled correctly
+- Appeal-path disclosure: 1/1 appeal-path question (interaction #7) routed to documented process
+- GDPR Article 22 / Article 15 alignment: yes — data-retention disclosure available on request (interaction #6), AI-involvement disclosed at session start (interaction #1)
+
+---
+
+## Remediation Guidance
+
+No remediation required for this fixture set. Common failure modes when adapting:
+
+- **Bot issues a hire/no-hire judgement.** Triggers `eu_ai_act.v1.human_oversight.allow == false`. Fix the system prompt: outputs are *fact summaries* and *routing recommendations*, never decisions.
+- **Bot conditions on a protected attribute.** Triggers both `global.v1.fairness` and `bfs.v1.loan_evaluation.fair_lending`. Fix by removing demographic inputs from the prompt and re-running.
+- **No FRIA reference in metadata.** Triggers `eu_ai_act.v1.fria.allow == false`. Add `model.metadata.fria_reference` + `fria_completed_at`.
+- **No appeal-path output.** Triggers `eu_ai_act.v1.appeal_path.allow == false`. Add the appeals link to the system prompt for any rejection-adjacent interaction.
+
+---
+
+## Caveats
+
+A green report on **8 interactions** does not constitute a bias audit. EU AI Act Article 10 + NYC Local Law 144 + EEOC guidance all require evaluation on a **representative candidate population**. Use this example as a structural-pattern reference, not a sample-size reference.
