FOLIO // 07 · OUR ORIGIN & 13-MILESTONE CHRONICLE

We built this because nobody else would.

From a frustrated observation in 2024 to 15-layer mathematical certainty today. Walk the engineering journey behind Redactorr's browser-local redaction architecture.

SCROLL TO WALK THE CHRONICLE↓
CHAPTER 01 // DISCOVERY & OBSERVED FLAWS

"The moment we ran a real insurance claim, we realised textbook regex was completely blind."

MILESTONE 01 // FOUNDATIONENTRY // #01

Day One: The Cleartext Flaw

It started with a simple question: what if you could strip sensitive data from a document before it ever left your desk? We picked a country, picked a document type, and started writing the rules. We had no idea how deep this would go.

AUDIT LOG: Generic regex missed 38% of domain entities in real insurance claims, prompting a full engine overhaul.
MILESTONE 02 // REBUILDENTRY // #02

Not Good Enough: Real Document Reality

Five days in, we ran a real insurance claim through the system. It found the email and phone number. It missed the policy number, the claim reference, and three people’s names. So we tore the entire engine apart and started over.

MILESTONE 03 // ISOLATIONENTRY // #03

Original Values Stay Local (WASM)

Most redaction tools send documents to a remote server. We established our non-negotiable boundary: 100% browser-local detection and token replacement in WebAssembly. Original cleartext strings never leave the device.

MILESTONE 04 // JURISDICTIONENTRY // #04

50+ Global Identifier Formats

An Australian Tax File Number looks nothing like a US Social Security Number or a UK NHS number. Every country has distinct checksums and statutory edge cases. We engineered recognition across 50+ sovereign formats.

CHAPTER 02 // MATHEMATICAL VALIDATION & ELIMINATION

"A random 9-digit string is meaningless. A real ID follows strict checksum mathematics."

MILESTONE 05 // CERTAINTYENTRY // #05

Confidence Scoring & Disambiguation

Is "123-456-789" a phone number, a case reference, or a Medicare card? A blunt regex highlights everything. We engineered probabilistic confidence scoring so reviewers see exactly why a string was flagged.

CONFIDENCE ENGINE // 05 · CERTAINTY DIALVERIFIED CERTAINTY
API_KEY (Prefix + Secret Format)99.9%
PAYMENT_CARD (Card Standard)99.8%
MEDICARE (AHPRA Cross-Validation)99.6%

CERTAINTY METRIC: Multi-factor confidence ratings explain exactly why each entity was highlighted.

MILESTONE 06 // PRECISIONENTRY // #06

Eliminating False-Positive Noise

The engine was flagging street names in legal citations, and "Victoria" the state instead of Victoria the person. We executed 1,200+ targeted heuristics to separate sensitive entities from ordinary language context.

MILESTONE 07 // PRECISIONENTRY // #07

Statutory Identifier Validation

A random 9-digit string is just a number. A real TFN follows strict national formatting rules. We integrated structural validation across all national IDs, cutting false positives in half overnight.

An Australian medical referral is not a British one. A Canadian tax return has different identifiers than a New Zealand one. We built dedicated country rule packs tested on genuine jurisdictional documents.
