Confidentiality & traceability
Useful knowledge. Within the right boundaries.

The system should know what a person is allowed to see before it tries to be helpful.
Client-level access boundaries
Keep each engagement inside its authorized information boundary.
Permission-aware retrieval
Check what the person may see before retrieving it for a draft.
Source references
