D.5:6.1 - Bias-Annotation

Bias risk	Failure	Mitigation
Audit as document ritual	A register or report exists but does not change intended use, residuals, or constraints.	Tie each concern to audited EntityOfConcern, intended use, evidence, mitigation, and accepted residual.
Metric fairness overclaim	A metric comparison is published as causal or counterfactual fairness.	Recover the fairness claim kind. For counterfactual fairness, require C.28 identification assumptions and estimation consistency when an estimate is used before D.5 consumes the support result.
Assurance as authorization	Ethical assurance is treated as permission to proceed.	Record assurance as assurance or evidence relation and keep `D.4` and `D.5` use separate.
Bias category replaces object	REP, ALG, VIS, MET, or LNG code is treated as the governed object.	Use codes only as concern locators; keep audited EntityOfConcern and intended use explicit.
