RIGHTS / HUMAN REVIEW REQUEST

When an AI-Shaped Decision Hurts You, Build a Factual Appeal Record

You may not know whether an AI system made or influenced a decision about you. You can still document the decision you received and ask for the human process that applies: the reason, the evidence considered, the correction path, and the deadline for review.

Start with the channel change

Save the decision notice, date, sender, reference number, and any stated appeal deadline. Do not edit the original.

Why this matters

Saying “the algorithm discriminated” without a record may not move a case forward. A dated account of the notice, your information, the error you believe occurred, and the exact remedy you want is more portable across an organization, agency, ombudsperson, or adviser.

The generator avoids inventing a legal citation or asserting that a model was involved. Use the language you can support and attach only documents appropriate for the recipient.

The protocol

  1. Save the decision notice, date, sender, reference number, and any stated appeal deadline. Do not edit the original.
  2. Describe the factual problem: incorrect information, missing context, inaccessible process, or an outcome that needs review. Separate what you know from what you suspect.
  3. Request one concrete action: human review, correction of a record, explanation of criteria, or reconsideration under the organization’s process.
  4. Send through the official appeal channel and keep proof of delivery. If the stakes are high, consult a qualified advocate, attorney, union, or relevant agency.

A request a human can route

The output is a draft, not a finding. It names the decision, evidence, correction or review requested, and date. That is stronger than a confident claim about a hidden system you cannot inspect.

Limit first: This is not legal advice and does not determine whether a law was violated or which agency has jurisdiction. It cannot force a review or preserve a deadline for you.

One human next step

Check the decision notice for its official appeal deadline and channel. If the decision affects housing, employment, credit, benefits, immigration, health, or safety, seek qualified local help promptly.

Research log and safety checks

AI-assist path: not used to infer a hidden model or legal outcome. The artifact is a factual-record generator; a human adviser remains the right escalation for jurisdiction and remedy. §6.10: not a frontier-pace topic.

§0.5 protection result: category is rights-recourse; crisis-adjacent: no; fear/urgency/scarcity toolkit used: no. The protective function is free and the paid feature is convenience only.
