Scenario

When policy teams unconsciously favor their own demographic

Our policy team is supposed to be using the original position to evaluate healthcare proposals, but I've noticed that our recommendations consistently favor policies that would benefit people like us - educated professionals with good jobs. When I brought up this pattern, people got defensive and said the policies are objectively better, but I think we're failing the impartiality test.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Groups attempting impartial policy analysis often unconsciously design solutions that benefit people like themselves.
