- Confidence justification
- Medium confidence: enforcement requires capitalised name structure, Australian dictionary evidence, and personal-record context. Broad dictionary-only recognition remains discovery-only because names and name-like words can occur in organisations, headings, and ordinary prose.

Known false positives
- Common surnames such as Brown, Young, or Green appear frequently as everyday words. Mitigation: Use corroborative evidence keywords to filter. Require PII context.
- Forms, policies, HR templates, and training material use legal-name field labels (legal name, full legal name, family name) without any populated value. Mitigation: Field labels are only record evidence; enforcement also needs a populated capitalised name with dictionary evidence and a person relation, and placeholder values (N/A, TBC, Not recorded, Full Name, blanks) after the label are rejected.
