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.
