The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat has released a revised and updated directive on automated decision-making and with it, which is even more interesting, an Algorithmic Impact Assessment tool. The tool will ask you a series of questions about your project - about the system, algorithm, decisions being made, and how you have mitigated any risks (there's 13 pages of questions; it's quite detailed) and then generate an impact assessment report. None of your input is collected by the tool; it stays on your desktop and disappears when the page is closed, unless you save your progress as a JSON file. Developed over the last six years, it's brilliantly done in Vue and Typescript and you can see the code here on GitHub.
