Document Review Segmentation for Sensitive Data Exposure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Organizations face challenges in efficiently and cost-effectively performing post-redaction review of sensitive documents due to the need for qualified reviewers, who must access pre-redacted contents, while minimizing exposure to restricted information.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that present different portions of a document to multiple reviewers, allowing each to review contextually related elements without the entire document, and determine the document's disposition based on their inputs, while minimizing exposure to sensitive information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If reviewers are given access to pre-redacted contents of documents to perform post-redaction review, then review quality is improved, but exposure to sensitive information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the document into multiple portions and assigns different portions to different reviewers. Each reviewer sees only a subset of the document content, which reduces individual exposure to sensitive information while collectively maintaining comprehensive review capability. This segmentation allows the system to achieve both review quality and reduced exposure.
2Measurement precision
If qualified reviewers with specific legal and/or professional qualifications are engaged to perform post-redaction review, then review accuracy is improved, but cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the review task into multiple portions that can be handled by different reviewers with varying qualification levels. Less sensitive portions can be reviewed by less expensive reviewers, while only critical portions require highly qualified experts. This reduces the overall cost while maintaining necessary review accuracy for sensitive content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an automated redaction system as an intermediary that performs preliminary redaction work before human review. This automated component handles routine redaction tasks, allowing human reviewers to focus on more complex judgment cases, thereby reducing the need for highly expensive qualified reviewers and lowering overall costs.
3Reliability
If entire document is presented to reviewers for comprehensive review, then review completeness is improved, but sensitivity exposure increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the document into multiple portions and distributes them to different reviewers. Each reviewer receives a customized portion based on sensitivity levels and reviewer qualifications. This ensures comprehensive coverage of the entire document through multiple reviewers while each individual is exposed only to necessary portions, reducing overall sensitivity exposure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different quality levels of review to different portions of the document. Highly sensitive portions receive more rigorous review by qualified experts, while less sensitive portions receive standard review. This local differentiation ensures review completeness for critical areas while reducing unnecessary exposure in less critical areas.

AI summary
A document review and security technique is provided that presents a first portion of a document to a first reviewer, wherein the first portion includes less than the entire document, presents a second portion of the document to a second reviewer, wherein the second portion includes less than the entire document, wherein the second portion is at least partially different from the first portion, and wherein the first reviewer and the second reviewer are different reviewers, receives from the first reviewer a review action input associated with the first portion, receives from the second reviewer a review action input associated with the second portion, and determines a disposition of the document in accordance with the review action inputs.
