Ministerial/Executive Briefing
Identifies substantive Australian ministerial, Director-General, secretary, and executive briefing documents. Topic phrases are retained for discovery; enforcement requires issue, recommendation, option, risk, financial, stakeholder, communications, decision, or implementation content, and high confidence also requires a formal brief reference or decision/approval signal.

Known false positives
- Public writing guidance and general government commentary discuss ministerial briefs, recommendations, options, and risks without containing a live decision document. Mitigation: Keep briefing topics discovery-only and require issue, recommendation, option, risk, financial, stakeholder, communications, decision, or implementation content.
- Training briefs can contain realistic references, decision signals, options, recommendations, and risks. Mitigation: Reject explicit template, demo, tutorial, sample-data, and training-example framing from enforcing tiers.
