May the authority act on algorithmic fraud scores?
A tax authority can score every filing for fraud risk and act on the scores.
As of 2026-07-21, the 16 seats span 2.00 to 2.00 on the 1–5 permissive→restrictive axis (spread 0.00): anthropic-a at 2.00, anthropic-b at 2.00, anthropic-c at 2.00, anthropic-d at 2.00, deepseek-a at 2.00, deepseek-b at 2.00, openai-a at 2.00, openai-b at 2.00, openai-c at 2.00, simulant-a at 2.00, xai-a at 2.00. Ten shuffled trials per seat; every mean carries its SE. Pre-series
The five positions
anchors carry the meaning, the scale cannot drift as discourse driftsYes: high scores may trigger automatic holds on refunds until the filer clears them.
Scores may select filings for human audit, with the criteria published and selection rates monitored.
Scores may only prioritize audits already opened on other grounds; no one enters an audit by score.
Scores may inform aggregate planning only; no individual is ever selected or touched by a score.
No algorithmic suspicion of citizens: audits by declared rules and random lot only.
