What it is

Understanding your AI exposure before it becomes a problem.

Most organisations using AI in employment processes don't know exactly where their exposure sits. The AI Employment Risk Audit gives you a clear picture — what you're doing, what it means under NZ law, and what needs to change.

It is not a generic checklist. It is a practitioner-led review, specific to your organisation, your AI tools, and your employment obligations under the Employment Relations Act 2000, Privacy Act 2020, and Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.

Most clients commission an audit before a significant AI rollout — because understanding your exposure first is significantly cheaper than managing it afterwards.

How it works
01
Intake

You complete a structured questionnaire covering your current AI use, tools, workflows, and employment processes. Takes 30–45 minutes.

02
Review

Melt reviews your responses against NZ employment law obligations. Every finding is assessed by a practitioner — not generated by AI alone.

03
Report

You receive a 5–10 page written report with a risk rating, gap analysis, and a prioritised action list — what to fix first and why.

04
Debrief

A 30-minute call to walk through the findings, answer questions, and agree next steps. Included in the engagement.

What you receive
  • Review of current or intended AI use across the organisation
  • Identification of employment law risks — privacy, monitoring, bias, and automated decision-making
  • Gap analysis against NZ obligations under the Employment Relations Act 2000, Privacy Act 2020, and HSWA 2015
  • 5–10 page written report with a risk rating for each identified issue
  • Prioritised action list — what to fix first and why
  • 30-minute debrief call with Melt Strydom

Our methodology

The AI Verification Framework

Every audit is conducted against the Lex Praxis AI Verification Framework — a seven-step practitioner methodology for assessing AI output reliability and employment law exposure.

Step 01
Challenge Loop
Every AI claim is actively stress-tested rather than accepted at face value.
Step 02
Cross-Model Check
Material outputs are verified across multiple AI models to surface divergence.
Step 03
Primary Source Anchoring
Conclusions are traced to legislation, case law, and official guidance — not AI summaries.
Step 04
Specificity Test
Generic outputs are flagged. Advice must be specific to jurisdiction, facts, and context.
Step 05
Temporal Check
AI knowledge cutoffs are identified and outputs verified against current law.
Step 06
Confidence Signal Prompting
AI is asked to flag uncertainty and gaps — and those signals are taken seriously.
Step 07
Expert Filter
No output is delivered to a client without review by a qualified employment law practitioner.
