Causal Fairness
R2 examines how protected attributes influence decisions through specific causal paths. It distinguishes paths that are permitted, blocked or require review, providing a basis for selective correction and a renewed assessment of the influence that remains.

Correct selectively
Verify the remainder
Locate the pathway behind an unfair influence, then evaluate whether a targeted correction addressed it.
A clear process.
Traceable decisions.
Analyze the paths
Use the causal model to examine how protected attributes can reach the decision, retaining the distinction between allowed, blocked and unresolved paths.
Correct selectively
Apply correction to the relevant influence paths while preserving the basis for assessing the intervention and its intended scope.
Verify the remainder
Reexamine residual influence, preserve the supporting evidence and use independent verification to assess the result of the correction.

A path that cannot be judged remains unresolved rather than being treated as fair.
