Ethics Guardrails

Confidentiality Data Map

Confidentiality and sensitive-data handling can be represented as a guardrail flow. Honesty note: simplified legal ethics guardrail model; ABA Model Rules are model rules and state adoption varies; the pinned first step carries the full honesty note.

Honesty note: simplified legal ethics guardrail model; ABA Model Rules are model rules and state adoption varies; as of June 24, 2026; not legal advice; code encodes a process and label model, not the law itself.

Use a data-handling flow

The stated process maps sensitive data to rule source label, access controls, retention label, and human review. ABA Model Rule 1.6 is a model-rule source label.

source=ABAModelRule1.6\text{source}=ABA Model Rule 1.6

Example data packet

The toy packet has sensitive-data label, source-label row, access-control row, and retention-label row.

The flow recomputes route size

The procedure flow recomputes 5 nodes and 4 edges from the authored data-handling map.

nodes=5,edges=4\text{nodes}=5,\quad \text{edges}=4

Summary

Confidentiality guardrails should show data, source label, controls, retention, and review handoff explicitly.
