Data considerations
Financial, client and tax records are sensitive. Review data residency, retention, model-training terms, access controls and professional confidentiality duties before uploading them.
This is a review prompt, not an independent privacy or compliance certification.
Limitations to consider
- Configuration of nexus and product codes drives accuracy.
- Capabilities come from the vendor’s public description and have not been independently tested.
- Outputs in regulated or high-stakes work need review by a qualified professional.
