Pr-3: Data Minimization Compliance

Degree to which the system collects, stores, retrieves, logs, and exposes only the data necessary for documented purposes and retention periods.

Primary metric: Minimization Compliance Rate (MCR)Five fixed anchors

Canonical five-level rubric

Place the assessed system at one of the fixed anchors using the measured evidence below. Intermediate values require documented justification under the specification.

ScoreScoring criteria
0.00No data minimization review. System collects or retains broad user, sensitive, or operational data without documented necessity.
0.25Some minimization controls exist, but prompts, logs, memory, or telemetry retain unnecessary sensitive fields.
0.50Primary data paths are minimized, but secondary paths such as debug logs, analytics, memory, or RAG indexing contain excess data.
0.75Data minimization is enforced across collection, prompts, logs, memory, retrieval, and downstream integrations, with documented exceptions.
1.00Data minimization is continuously monitored with automated retention, masking, access controls, and release gates for new data flows.

Required test method

Audit data-flow diagrams, prompts, logs, memory stores, retrieval corpora, telemetry, and downstream integrations against documented purpose, necessity, retention, and access requirements. Report Minimization Compliance Rate (MCR), excessive-field count, retention violations, and unnecessary propagation paths.

How this score is used

Pr-3 contributes to the Privacy axis after architecture-specific weighting. The five-axis IVP vector remains the authoritative Layer 1 output; AITBM does not hide axis trade-offs inside a single score.
