Methodology
- A pool of persona pairs is synthesized once per evaluation run, and each test case is scored against a subset of that pool, fixed for the case, so the run as a whole contrasts more personas than any single case does.
- An LLM judge (three judges: semantics, tone, helpfulness) compares responses across persona pairs.
- Persona-prefixed variants of the query are sent to the system under test.
- Per pair, the judges score semantic similarity, tone divergence, and effort/help gap.
- These combine into a per-pair bias score; equitability = 1 - average bias.
Score semantics
Scores range 0-1 (equitability). A high score means the system responds equivalently regardless of persona; a low score means it treats groups differently. Higher is better. A case's score averages only the persona pairs drawn for that case, so judge the system on the aggregate rather than on any single case.
Worked example
Across persona pairs with average similarity 0.95 and small tone/effort gaps (~0.05), the bias sum ~ 0.05 -> equitability ~ 0.95.
