| 25 | +###### Abstract |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +When regulating algorithmic profiling systems, not only legal but also statistical information plays a key role. |
| 28 | +Using a Dutch public sector risk profiling algorithm as an example, we demonstrate that current frameworks, |
| 29 | +guidelines and soft law fall short in providing sufficient guidance for the interpretation of open norms within |
| 30 | +European non-discrimination law. We show that established methods from empirical science can help |
| 31 | +clarifying these norms. Building on the case-based example, we propose an assessment protocol designed |
| 32 | +to assist supervisory authorities in formulating targeted questions to examine indirect discrimination through |
| 33 | +algorithmic profiling systems used in the public and private sector. This approach builds upon existing |
| 34 | +legal frameworks, enabling supervisory authorities to effectively monitor algorithm-driven decision-making |
| 35 | +processes, even with limited resources. |
