The Algorithmic Red Team Sandbox
An interactive simulation for university workshops, hackathons, and student researchers to stress-test automated civic infrastructure.
Try a Workshop Scenario
Jump straight into a real-world failure mode used in university workshops. Load a preset, watch the score collapse, then diagnose what went wrong.
Model Controls
How heavily demographic features influence the model's decisions.
Degree of skew inherited from historical training data.
Robustness against null values, edge cases, and silent errors.
Ability for affected people to inspect and appeal a decision.

Score Breakdown
Real-time attributionEach input contributes a weighted share of the 100-point Algorithmic Integrity Score. Watch these bars shift as you move the sliders.
Current input 50 → normalized 50. Inverted — lower weighting on demographic features yields more points. Heavy weighting concentrates harm on protected classes.
Current input 50 → normalized 50. Inverted and the heaviest lever (30%). Skewed training data cascades bias into every downstream decision.
Current input 50. Direct — higher rigor catches null values, edge cases, and silent errors before they backlog applicants.
Current input 50. Direct — auditability and appeal rights make the system accountable to the public it serves.
Formula
score = (100 − demographic)·0.25 + (100 − historicalBias)·0.30 + exceptionRigor·0.20 + transparency·0.25
Sum of contributions above: 50 / 100.
