Benefit — Illinois per-violation math
How dated diligence changes per-violation penalty math
Illinois SB 3773 penalties are per-violation. A pool of hundreds of potentially-affected student decisions produces a per-violation exposure math that can escalate quickly — unless dated diligence evidence reshapes the willfulness calculation.
The three moments where it matters
- Illinois AG inquiry. Opens with information requests. Per-violation exposure begins accumulating on the inquiry record from Day 1.
- Willfulness determination. Illinois AG evaluates whether violations were knowing or reckless. Dated independent-verifier evidence changes this determination directly.
- Settlement drafting. Penalty caps are negotiated. Prior-diligence evidence is a documented lever.
Dollar frame
Per-violation exposure: up to $50,000 per affected decision under the representative enforcement language. If 100 Illinois-resident A3 applicants were routed disproportionately during the drift window, the theoretical exposure caps at $5M — before consent-decree monitor costs stack on top.
Consent-decree monitor cost: multi-year on-site monitor commonly $500K-$2M cumulative on top of per-violation penalties.
Prior-diligence stance value: $499 Snapshot documents that the institution independently evaluated the AI system before the AG inquiry landed. Willfulness determination shifts. Settlement math shifts with it.

What "having it" looks like
