TL;DR

  • Optimise for predictable refusal behavior + structured outputs.
  • Prefer models with strong long-context reasoning when reviewing policy docs and briefs.
  • Use a two-pass workflow: generate → verify (claims + required disclaimers).
  • Store prompts + outputs for audit and regression testing.
  • Keep a “red team” prompt set and re-run it after every model change.

Checklist

  1. 1
    Define your compliance constraints
    List prohibited claims, required disclosures, tone boundaries, and approved sources.
  2. 2
    Pick a model with safety-first defaults
    Start with Claude for safety-heavy and policy-heavy tasks; validate alternatives if you need speed or multimodal reasoning.
  3. 3
    Implement verification gates
    Add a second pass that checks every claim against allowed statements and flags unsupported promises.
  4. 4
    Keep artifacts for audit
    Log prompt, inputs, outputs, and a short justification for approvals so you can reproduce decisions later.
