Decision gate

All three gates must pass.

1Destination approved?

Confirm the exact service, workspace, account, feature, retention, administrator access, connectors, contract, and organisation policy.

2Minimum useful copy?

Remove pages, rows, fields, precision, attachments, and identifiers the AI task does not need.

3Exact output reviewed?

Reopen the prepared copy, search again, inspect hidden content, test meaning and usability, and obtain required human approval.

If any gate is unknown or fails, do not upload.Use a synthetic example, an approved controlled environment, or complete the task without the file.
