Benefit — Colorado rebuttable presumption
What rebuttable-presumption evidence actually costs vs saves
Colorado's framework works through a rebuttable presumption. If dated diligence is in place, the burden shifts back to the challenger. If it isn't, the institution defends from a weaker starting position. $499 vs the litigation cost differential is not a close call.
The three moments where it matters
- Consumer complaint filing. Colorado AG or private plaintiff opens with an algorithmic-discrimination claim. Presumption status determines opening burden.
- Motion-to-dismiss and summary-judgment stages. Presumption evidence directly shapes what survives.
- Settlement negotiation. Presumption-in-hand institutions settle from a stronger position.
Dollar frame
Cost of losing the presumption: defense cost floor rises significantly. Depositions, discovery, and expert-witness cost all compound when the institution starts from "no presumption of reasonable care."
Cost of retrofitting an impact assessment under fire: commissioning independent evaluation after a complaint typically runs 5-10x the cost of the same discipline applied ahead of time.
Preventive stance value: $499 Snapshot establishes the impact-assessment element of the presumption test. Documented risk-management program and consumer notice complete the three-element test.
