Bring this

A document or piece of content you're about to use with an AI tool.

Output

A FENCE-cleared version of your document, safe to use with AI.

AI Teammate

FENCE scanner — categorizes what's safe, what needs redaction, what stays out.

Human-Owned Zone (HOZ)

You make the final call on what goes in and what stays out.

FENCE Check

This mission IS the FENCE check. You're learning to protect data before using AI.

Prompt Starter

I'm about to use this content with an AI tool. I need you to act as a data safety checker. Review it and tell me:

1. What's safe to paste as-is
2. What needs redaction before I paste (and what to replace it with)
3. What should stay out entirely
4. Whether I should use a public AI tool or a privacy-safe tool for this

Use these tiers:
- GREEN: Safe for public AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude free tier)
- YELLOW: Redact names, numbers, and identifiers first
- RED: Do not paste. Use a privacy-safe tool or keep it offline.

Content: [paste — or describe it if too sensitive to paste even here]

Work the Mission

1Take a document you're about to use with AI. Paste it (or describe it if too sensitive).
2Run the prompt. Review the FENCE assessment.
3Redact anything flagged yellow. Remove anything flagged red.
4Now you have a clean version safe to use with AI tools.
5Save this as a habit: always run the FENCE check before pasting.

Quality Check

Nothing flagged red was pasted into a public tool
Yellow items were redacted (not just flagged and ignored)
You know which tier of AI tool is appropriate for this content
You could do this in under 2 minutes next time without AI help

Twist Card — when AI doesn't cooperate

AI says it's all GREEN but you're not sure? Trust your gut. When in doubt, redact.
AI flags everything as RED? You may need a privacy-safe tool. Consider local AI or enterprise tools.
Document is too sensitive to even describe to AI? Keep it offline. Some things don't belong in any AI tool.
