CNAF’s DMDE 2026 is a targeting model rather than an automatic final decision-maker; its source code and model documentation are public and the redesign excludes several sensitive/profile variables.

Research opportunities this claim motivates

What this claim leaves open for research. Each is a hypothesis about a gap, not a finding.

In contracts for public decision systems, who controls thresholds, variables and updates?CNAF publishes the source code and documentation of its targeting model and excluded several sensitive variables in a redesign, showing that design choices can be documented and publicly held; it is a contrast case, and the claim does not say the model is fair or lawful.
