Could you just pick the clearest cut one, and type a few sentences explaining it?
edit: not trying to get you to do my work for me, but for an existence proof people don't commonly list a bunch of things by name without explaining how they apply. They list one thing (or one class of things, or how to construct a thing), and exactly how it applies.

I sampled a few of those links, and without exception they all touted the true positive matches without any mention of false positives, nor of what consequences were visited upon the innocents who were pipelined in to the criminal system by them.

Anyone who understands testing knows that you cannot eliminate both false positives and false negatives and that you have to pick one.
That's why these systems always have to be combined with good policework. What's being asked for is a test that cannot be passed.
This pretty much applies across the board with evidence testing.

No, what's being asked for is evidence that the system being developed does not result in an increase in inequity in the real world. That's testable, and achievable. The list of promos/booster articles posted is not any form of demonstration of that.
