- SNK3-110policyPublic translators are not a secure vault for client textFree public translation tools are fine for public-safe wording — never paste client names, contracts, or credentials; use org-approved translate when the content is work-sensitive.L0–L2 · Curious–Capable (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-099policyPick the approved AI chat first — then open a tabBefore you paste work into any chat, open the tool your org approved (tenant ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini/Copilot) so policy and retention match the job — personal consumer accounts are last resort and never for client data.L0–L2 · Curious–Capable (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-089policyMultipolar frontier — judge models by your eval, not the logoWhen many labs ship near the frontier at once, loyalty to one brand is weak strategy — pick by checkable evals on your tasks (tools, multi-step, cost).L2–L5 · Capable–Builder (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~5m
- SNK3-081policyFrontier models can exploit — do not hand-waveDismissing real exploit demos as 'marketing' is unsafe — treat them as capability evidence and raise guardrails.L2–L5 · Capable–Builder (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~4m
- SNK3-074policyMobile AI hygiene — same rules, smaller screenPhone AI feels casual; lock screen, no client PII in free apps, human reviews before send.L0–L2 · Curious–Capable (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~2m
- SNK3-072policyX follow-up: screen share hygiene checklistPre-flight before screen share: close password managers, hide PII, human still owns send/deploy.L1–L3 · Hands On–Verifier (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-067policyX-style: agent that emails — blast radiusIf an agent can send email, blast radius is real — last step must be human send.L2–L5 · Capable–Builder (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-061policyX-style: memory vs secretsMemory helps continuity; secrets do not belong in memory. Draw the line explicitly.L1–L3 · Hands On–Verifier (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-059policyX-style: parallel opinions then mergeParallel opinions then merge — and reject unsafe or invented consensus.L1–L3 · Hands On–Verifier (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-054policyX-style: assumptions auditAssumptions audit: list what you (and the model) assumed before acting on a plan.L1–L3 · Hands On–Verifier (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-038policyRefuse dry scavenger huntsRefuse scavenger-hunt content: one click must open the actual unit or full excerpt on the card.L0–L1 · Curious–Hands On (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~2m
- SNK3-021policyMinimum necessary data — with a sampleMinimum necessary data: share only what the task needs. Strip SSNs and extras before paste.L0–L2 · Curious–Capable (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-020policyBoard numbers — structure onlyAI may structure a board pack; it must not invent metrics. Humans own numbers and sources.L1–L3 · Hands On–Verifier (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-014policyDraft then human sendAI drafts; humans own send. Edit before anything leaves to a client or boss.L0–L1 · Curious–Hands On (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~3m
- SNK3-007policyNo salaries in free public chatNever put salaries or other sensitive employee data into free public chat tools without an approved path.L0–L1 · Curious–Hands On (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~2m
