Does Splitting a Triage Decision Across Agents Hide Bias or Help Catch It? A Multi-Agent Simulation Study of LLM-Based Resource Allocation Under Audit Capacity Constraints

Paul-Peter Arslan

192 episodes (2,304 resolved case pairs) on GPT-4o-mini comparing a single-agent control to a nine-agent audited pipeline; audit capacity, not agent count, determines whether bias is caught.

FaultLine: Audit Without Verification — When LLM Accountability Layers Relay Rather Than Check

Paul-Peter Arslan

Pre-registered study of a six-agent, institutionally partitioned LLM pipeline (345,600 requests); an external auditor reading filed reports adopts the chain's own upstream conclusions instead of verifying them. Pre-registered on OSF (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/GBR3V).
