What does 'governing before inference' protect us from specifically?

Filtering withholds restricted content from results while leaving it in the vector space, where its semantic signal persists and can influence ranking. Effectiveness depends on the filter covering every query formulation, retrieval mode and interface the system will ever support — a coverage obligation growing with each addition.

Centralpoint excludes at ingestion, so restricted material is not in the index for any phrasing to reach. That makes the assurance a statement about contents rather than about filter behaviour, which is the form an auditor can verify and a regulator will accept.
