A deliberate authority boundary
Helix and the customer have different jobs:- Helix produces attributable evidence and accounts for unsupported, partial, failed, and unresolved cases.
- The customer defines the intended use and policy, evaluates the evidence, and makes the decision.
- The customer controls downstream use while Helix preserves the approved population and the basis for the decision.
Evidence, not forced certainty
A credible system must represent what it could not establish. Helix preserves abstention, unsupported content, unavailable processing, and failed processing instead of silently converting them into clean results.A classification describes what the evidence supports. It does not decide
whether content is prohibited, permitted, or ready for a particular use.
