Scores cluster high, so position within the catalogue is often more telling than the number alone.
Evidence of impact / measured public value2/3
Official IRD press releases document 3M+ returns screened, a 50% audit increase, and NZD 859M in compliance revenue in one half-year, though the specific AI contribution versus additional Budget 2024 staffing is not formally isolated.
Transparency, fairness & accountability2/3
IRD publishes a dedicated 'Our use of AI' page and has signed the Algorithm Charter for Aotearoa NZ, but the specific models and features used in compliance risk scoring are not publicly disclosed.
Transferability / demonstrated replication2/3
IRD is a member of JITSIC and explicitly shares analytics intelligence with peer revenue authorities including the Australian Taxation Office, indicating effective bilateral transfer.
Scalability beyond pilot3/3
Fully national in scale, screening every New Zealand tax return (3M+); capacity confirmed by Budget 2024 funding for expanded compliance operations.
Governance, capability & sustainability2/3
Algorithm Charter commitment, mandatory human oversight of all AI decisions, and Parliamentary accountability provide structural governance, though AI-specific audit-trail documentation is limited.
