They can make institutions faster and more consistent. They can also turn a person into a score, hide policy choices inside technical systems, and leave those most affected facing an answer that no one seems authorised to reconsider.In The Decision You Cannot Appeal, G B Edlin examines a question more important than whether an algorithm is accurate: what makes institutional power legitimate when software shapes the outcome Clear, humane, and practical, this book shows how to: - distinguish a prediction from a justified decision;- recognise proxy discrimination, automation bias, feedback loops, and silent policy drift;- design notice, explanation, correction, review, and appeal that work under real conditions;- procure and govern AI without outsourcing public responsibility;- build decision records, impact assessments, monitoring, and independent oversight;- protect efficiency while preserving dignity, discretion, and the right to be heard.Drawing on leading public frameworks and real institutional patterns, it provides a Contestability Test, model decision notice, appeal protocol, procurement questions, case studies, practice scenarios, maturity model, and board-level review.For leaders, professionals, policymakers, technologists, educators, and citizens, this is a guide to building institutions that can use automated judgment without becoming unanswerable.…
