Archive Redaction Screen

Screen archived content for redaction or access restriction.

Description

An archive redaction screen combines supplied sensitive-content flags with public-interest and legal-constraint judgments.

An archive redaction screen combines supplied sensitive-content flags with public-interest and legal-constraint judgments. It returns a fixed-priority recommendation.1

Screen archived content for redaction or access restriction.

When to use Archive Redaction Screen

Use this tool to screen archived content for redaction or access restriction.

Prepare the text, recorded observations, aligned figures or editorial criteria requested. Confirm what each label, count, timestamp or supplied flag represents before interpreting the result.

How to use Archive Redaction Screen and understand its results

  1. Prepare the text, recorded observations, aligned figures or editorial criteria requested. Confirm what each label, count, timestamp or supplied flag represents before interpreting the result.
  2. Enter containsPersonalAddress, containsMinorIdentity, containsMedicalDetail, legalRetentionRequired, publicInterestStrong using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
  3. Read sensitiveFactorCount, recommendedAction, triggeredFactors. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
  4. If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
Input fieldMeaningValue type; see rules belowRequirement
containsPersonalAddressContains personal addressbooleanRequired
containsMinorIdentityContains minor identitybooleanRequired
containsMedicalDetailContains medical detailbooleanRequired
legalRetentionRequiredLegal retention requiredbooleanRequired
publicInterestStrongStrong public interestbooleanRequired

Enter five booleans. Return sensitive count, active address/minor/medical labels and action: legal constraint restricts if sensitive else retains; otherwise public interest redacts if sensitive else retains; remaining cases restrict for ≥2, redact for one and review for zero.

sensitiveCount=address+minor+medical

Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.

Limitations and assumptions

No document is analyzed or modified. The heuristic does not determine legal duties or appropriate redaction.

Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use Takedown Decision Score: Score supplied takedown factors and recommend an editorial action. For a complementary task, use Minor Consent Check: Screen minor-subject consent and identity-protection facts.
