The Equity Policy asks for a lens on actions. A vacancy, a panel, a 90-day, an acting offer — those are actions. Do not wait for EOAD to notice who a posting was built for. That wait is Minimization: sameness until someone is hurt enough to file.

Apply this — one hire or 90-day

Name a hire, panel, or 90-day that will lock.
Name who it was built for.
Run the toolkit before the lock, or write who is missing.
Confirm this is not a live complaint you are processing.
