Many countries are introducing laws that require companies to explain how their algorithms work. This is proving difficult because algorithms are often complex black boxes. Create a tool that takes algorithmic outputs and generates clear, human-readable explanations of the decision process. This could include simplified flowcharts, key factors, and impact scores. Sell to governments and corporations who need to demonstrate compliance with new transparency laws. Charge based on the number of algorithms analyzed. Start with a simple interface that accepts CSVs of algorithm inputs and outputs, returning markdown explanations. Gradually add support for more complex algorithms. The biggest risk is failing to generate explanations that satisfy regulators. Thorough testing with legal experts is essential.
