An external consultant will review investigative personnel files next week. The files contain not just names but notes that could indirectly identify people. I fear our current redaction is superficial. Identify every category of indirect identifier to watch for in personnel notes, explain which can be generalized without losing meaning, and produce a short redaction protocol my team can execute across 150 pages in two days. I will not over-redact clinical context that impedes the investigation.

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.

Real. Every job here was drawn from what people in real roles were actually seen doing in Acrobat — not a feature checklist.

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.
