PII redaction at enterprise scale
Techniques and trade-offs for detecting and redacting sensitive data in grounding pipelines.
The short version
Grounding models safely starts with knowing — and removing — what they should never see.

Why it matters for the enterprise
Most AI initiatives stall at the last mile: integration, evaluation, and the operational controls that let a system run unattended. The gap between a convincing demo and a governed production deployment is where value is won or lost.
Treating evaluation as a release gate — rather than an afterthought — is what separates systems teams trust from ones they quietly switch off.
What to do next
Start by baselining a single high-volume workflow: its cost, cycle time, and error rate. That baseline turns 'AI strategy' into a measurable bet.
From there, scope the smallest deployment that can clear a real production bar, and instrument it so payback is provable from day one.
