A reason code.

126
A reason code.
A preserved original.
A record of the before and after.
A statement of whether the decision was automated, human, or
mixed.
A short explanation now and a fuller explanation on request.
Human review when the consequence touches work, education,
income, benefits, account access, liberty, or reputation.
A written result: affirmed, reversed, or modified.
Repair: restore reach, revenue, records, access, memory, or
standing when the system was wrong.
Aggregate transparency so recurring error cannot hide as
anecdote. [41]
A thumbs-down button is not due process.
NO APPEAL WITHOUT THE POWER TO REPAIR.
A person should be able to say: this record is wrong, this inference
is stale, this memory was changed without permission, this
restriction misunderstood the context, this model affected my life,
and I want a human with authority to review it.
No consequential system should be allowed to answer only:
Because the model said so.
The appeal must reach someone who can do more than repeat the
output.
Correct the data.
Restore the source.
Reverse the decision.
Explain the rule.
Record the disagreement.
Compensate for harm where appropriate.
Prevent recurrence.
The military case is especially severe. A person classified through
intelligence cannot always be notified, but secrecy does not eliminate
the need for internal challenge, legal review, audit, post-action
investigation, and mechanisms capable of correcting a mistaken
identity before the mistake becomes permanent.
The same architecture belongs in civilian systems before the
stakes reach war.
A lender.
A school.
A hospital.
