How to redact a client brief for AI

Redaction is data minimisation, not simply replacing the client’s name.

  1. 01

    Define the minimum task facts

    Keep only information necessary to produce the administrative output.

  2. 02

    Remove identifying detail

    Check names, references, amounts, dates, entities and combinations that reveal identity.

  3. 03

    Review before entry

    A responsible person checks the redacted brief and approved tool.
