Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation presents platform-specific examples for generating derived device keys using Azure CLI, Windows (PowerShell), Linux (openssl), and C#. However, the Windows/PowerShell example is given before the Linux example, and the PowerShell example is more verbose and detailed compared to the Linux example. The Azure CLI example is cross-platform, but the explicit mention of PowerShell and Bash shells may subtly prioritize Windows. There is a slight 'windows_first' ordering and more emphasis on PowerShell scripting, which may suggest a Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows examples in parallel or alternate their order in documentation to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Ensure that Linux examples (e.g., using openssl) are as detailed and explanatory as Windows/PowerShell examples.
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI is fully cross-platform and provide equal guidance for both Bash (Linux/macOS) and PowerShell (Windows) environments.
  • Consider adding examples for macOS if relevant, or clarify that Linux examples are applicable to macOS.
  • Review and balance the depth of explanation for each platform to ensure parity.
