The situation
It is Wednesday 12 August 2026, week 11, the day after the pilot incident. Before the assistant goes live, Maya wants to publish a short note to customers on how it handles their messages. Anika reads the draft and stops at one line: "Your messages are deleted after 30 days."
"Which copies?" she asks. The running example is T-1006, a customer locked out of sign-in who wrote an email address and a phone number into the message. You will follow it through every copy, then test fairness, write a content policy, plan red-teaming and decide what customers are told. Records and messages added here are simulated.
