AEDT Scope Checker

Does the tool use machine learning, artificial intelligence, statistical modeling, or data analytics to generate predictions, scores, or classifications?

Examples: resume screening, candidate ranking, personality assessments, video interview analysis, skills assessments with automated scoring.

Is the tool used to substantially assist in hiring or promotion decisions?

Substantially assist means the tool plays a meaningful role — not just basic keyword search, spell-check, or scheduling. If the tool's output influences whether a candidate advances, it likely qualifies.

Do any candidates who will be evaluated by this tool reside in New York City (any of the five boroughs)?

This includes fully remote roles that NYC residents could apply for. The employer's location doesn't matter — only the candidate's residence.

Does a human always review and can override every tool output before any decision is made?

If humans rubber-stamp the tool's recommendations, or if the tool filters candidates before a human sees them, it likely still qualifies as an AEDT. Human review must be meaningful.

Is the tool limited to basic keyword search, spell-check, calendar scheduling, or formatting?

These are explicitly excluded from the AEDT definition under DCWP rules. If the tool only searches for keywords or schedules interviews, it may not qualify.
