Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
powershell_heavy
windows_first
Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform and avoids explicit Windows bias in most areas. However, in the section on decoding SAS token signatures, the PowerShell example is presented first, with the Linux/bash/python alternative only mentioned after. This ordering and inclusion of PowerShell as the primary example demonstrates a subtle 'windows_first' and 'powershell_heavy' bias.
Recommendations
  • When providing code examples for tasks like decoding or hashing, present both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (bash/python) examples together, or explicitly state that both are supported.
  • Consider presenting the Linux/bash example first, or in parallel with the PowerShell example, to avoid the perception of Windows being the default environment.
  • Where possible, use platform-agnostic tools or SDKs in examples (e.g., Azure CLI, Python scripts) that work equally well on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Add a note clarifying that all tasks can be performed on both Windows and Linux, and provide links to relevant cross-platform tooling documentation.
