Responsibility Audit
A comprehensive, non-judgmental diagnostic of your product's ethical health.
Overview
You conduct security audits to find vulnerabilities in your code. A Responsibility Audit is a parallel process for your values. I review your product, policies, and development practices to identify gaps between your stated intentions and your actual impact. This is not a compliance check-box exercise; it is a holistic review designed to find the "silent failures"—the exclusionary defaults, the dark patterns, and the feedback loops that could cause harm over time.
What You Get
- Detailed Diagnostic: A confidential report outlining high-risk areas and structural weaknesses in your current approach.
- Remediation Roadmap: Prioritized, practical steps to address the findings, ranked by urgency and impact.
- Validation: For mature teams, this serves as third-party verification of your responsible innovation efforts.
