Automated Decision-Making (ADM) Transparency & Explainability

In accordance with Australian privacy legislation reforms, this portal provides full statutory transparency into how Cognitino uses automated algorithms to evaluate learning capability, gate progression, and deliver curriculum recommendations. Every authoritative decision is deterministic, mathematically transparent, and subject to human review.

✓ Deterministic Core (Layers 1–3)
✓ AI Never Scores or Gates (Layer 5 Isolation)
✓ Right to Request Human Review

1. Five-Layer Architecture: Deterministic vs. AI Separation

The Cognitino platform strictly separates authoritative educational determinations from non-authoritative generative assistance. All progression and scoring decisions are mathematically auditable.

Layer 1

Capability Engine

Mathematical mastery calculation & prerequisite DAG graph.

Deterministic
Layer 2

Pedagogy Profile

Curriculum pacing, scaffolding levels, and track rules.

Deterministic
Layer 3

Content & Scoring

Deterministic item scoring against validated answer rubrics.

Deterministic
Layer 4

Skin Presentation

Visual theme, reading level, and vocabulary scaling.

Deterministic
Layer 5

AI Assist

Educational hints, concept explanations, and scaffolding.

Non-Authoritative
Statutory Guardrail: AI models (OpenAI GPT-4, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude) operate exclusively in Layer 5. The AI cannot award scores, modify mastery records, unlock curriculum nodes, or make any authoritative decision regarding a student's educational outcomes.

2. Interactive ADM Decision Simulator & Formula Inspector

Test different learning inputs to inspect the mathematical formulas and criteria that drive automated educational determinations.

Formula Used:
Mastery = min(1.0, (Correct / Attempts) × (0.8 + 0.04 × DifficultyBand))

Raw Accuracy:75.0%
Difficulty Scaling:1.00x
3D Planet Status:Practising / Active
Explainability: The student answered 3 of 4 items correctly on a band 5 node, resulting in an automated mastery rating of 0.75 (Practising).

3. Request Human Review / Appeal an Automated Decision

Under Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to request that a qualified human educator or administrator review any automated scoring, mastery, or gating decision.

Cognitino is committed to educational fairness and governance transparency under Australian Privacy Principle 1.
