Trustworthy and ethical assurance is a methodology and procedure for developing a structured argument, which provides reviewable (and contestable) assurance that a set of claims about a normative goal of a data-driven technology are warranted given the available evidence.
The following elements are central to this methodology and procedure:
The Trustworthy and Ethical Assurance platform brings these elements together in a usable and accessible manner, and helps project teams to provide trustworthy and justifiable assurance about the processes they undertook when designing, developing, and deploying their technology or system.
The Trustworthy and Ethical Assurance application can be run locally or deployed on your own server or a cloud-based service (e.g. Azure). To view the different installation instructions, please visit our documentation site for the backend and frontend.
