FAQs

How does the tool decide what to redact vs. what a human reviewer would catch? 

Our agentic AI scans text for sensitive entities and patterns—names, SSNs, locations, classifications—using contextual understanding, then applies your agency’s configurable FOIA/Privacy Act rules to decide redactions. It’s not a black box replacing reviewers: every redaction generates a report for human validation, audit, and compliance tracking, so reviewers confirm judgment calls (like deliberative-process exemptions) the model flags but doesn’t finalize alone.

Is this compliant with agency records retention and classification requirements (including for classified or CUI material)? 

Our agentic AI is built to operate in secure government environments and applies configurable rules to meet FOIA, Privacy Act, and agency-specific standards, with full audit trails for compliance tracking. For specifics on CUI handling, classification-level authorizations, or retention schedules, we’d confirm current certifications and configurations with our compliance team for your environment. 

Does it scale to large productions (thousands of pages) without degrading accuracy?

Yes—Seekr’s agentic AI is built for scale, processing large document sets (PDFs, Word files, scans) across millions of pages in minutes, with consistent, compliant results across document types rather than the variable quality seen in manual, team-by-team review. Every batch generates validation reports for reviewer sign-off, so accuracy is checked at scale, not just assumed.

Can I configure rules per exemption category or per requester type? 

Yes, redaction rules can be configured to align with specific FOIA and Privacy Act exemption categories as well as agency-specific standards, ensuring consistent, compliant results across document types. Per-requester-type configuration is available depending on deployment—contact our team to discuss your agency’s specific workflow needs.
