We’ll present a public draft budget next month but must redact donor amounts and sensitive financial figures. I don’t want a sloppy redaction that later allows amounts to be recovered from metadata. Advise on how to permanently remove financial figures and related metadata, how to lock the draft for public circulation, and what wording to add so trustees and staff understand what was redacted and why.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
