Governance and Compliance
Adjusting the output of a model after the model has been run. Post-processing can be used to enforce fairness constraints without modifying models themselves.
For example, one might apply post-processing to a binary classification model by setting a classification threshold such that equality of opportunity is maintained for some attribute by checking that the true positive rate is the same for all values of that attribute.

A search team applies post-processing such as diversity filtering after model scoring so a single page is not dominated by similar items.
A risk team applies post-processing to model outputs to enforce policy caps before sending decisions to downstream systems.
