Known false positives

Financial terminology appearing in published reports, accounting textbooks, regulatory guidance, or template documents without actual transaction data. Mitigation: Require corroborative evidence keywords within the proximity window. Cross-reference with structured financial identifiers to confirm actual sensitive data.
In English (as the primary international business language), standard business terminology overlapping with financial detection keywords in routine correspondence and documentation. Mitigation: Increase confidence threshold when scanning business correspondence. Layer with transaction-specific patterns for higher precision.
