Start with provenance and source scope.
INPUT AND EVIDENCE LEDGER
Classify every field before using it.
| Field | Value | Origin |
|---|---|---|
| Weights | Stocking 35; habitat 25; access 15; weather 15; distance 10 | Illustrative model |
| Candidate scores | 80, 72, unknown, 90, 60 | Illustrative normalized inputs |
| Missing component | Access | No reliable public evidence |
| Unknown policy | Reweight known components | Declared model rule |
REPRODUCIBLE WORK
Run the quality-control chain.
| Check | Formula or rule | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Known weighted sum | 80×35 + 72×25 + 90×15 + 60×10 | 6,550 weighted points |
| Known weight | 35 + 25 + 15 + 10 | 85 |
| Reweighted score | 6,550 ÷ 85 | 77.1 / 100 |
| Confidence label | One decision layer missing | Score shown with access unknown |
DECISION READING
The audit finding.
Assigning zero would falsely claim poor access; assigning a neutral value would invent evidence. Reweighting preserves the known comparison while a separate confidence label exposes the missing layer.
HUMAN ACCOUNTABILITY + AI USE RECORD

- Recomputed the 6,550 weighted points, 85 known weight, and 77.1 normalized score.
- Confirmed that unknown access is neither assigned zero nor replaced with invented neutral evidence.
- Preserved the separate option to withhold a candidate when access functions as a mandatory safety gate.
BOUNDARIES
What passed data checks still cannot prove.
- The weights and component scores are illustrative, not a live recommendation.
- A high score does not establish legal public access.
- Unknown data must be verified with the responsible land or wildlife agency.
SENSITIVITY
Failure modes to retest.
- If access is a mandatory safety gate, the candidate can be withheld instead of merely reweighted.
- More missing layers should lower confidence even if the normalized score stays high.
- Weights should be visible because changing them can reorder candidates.
