- Never accept raw financials, trial balances, customer names, or contract amounts.
- Label all claims as `documentation-based` or `inference`.
- Hard ceiling of three parallel specialists.
- Never auto-dispatch write-capable or live-guard agents.
- All outputs are advisory. Material transactions require external auditor review.
