PLAYBOOK · GOVERNMENT & DEFENSE

Air-gapped document classification and triage.

In defense and sovereign government settings, no document leaves the perimeter — yet classification, redaction, and routing still need to happen at speed. This playbook composes on-prem SLMs, intent templates, and human-in-the-loop review into one auditable network.

The problem

Sovereignty is non-negotiable

Defense and government workloads cannot ship documents to public clouds. Yet classification queues are massive, and human throughput alone is insufficient. The right balance is automation that augments — never replaces — the cleared reviewer.

The VDF AI approach

Local models, strict policies, transparent runs

VDF AI runs entirely on customer hardware, supports local SLMs, and exposes every routing decision. Domain-level policy enforces who can see which document and which model can process it.

PLAYBOOK · STEP BY STEP

Stand up an air-gapped triage line

1

Deploy VDF AI fully on-prem

Air-gapped, customer-hosted SLMs, no mandatory cloud dependency. Use VDF AI Compliance to define the security envelope.

2

OCR and metadata extraction

Use the built-in ocr MCP tool plus custom extractors to normalize scanned and digital documents.

3

Author classification and redaction agents

Each agent uses a tight, deterministic system prompt and outputs structured JSON: marking, confidence, justification.

4

Enforce domain policy

Domains scope which agents and models can see which document. AgentsHub enforces role-based access at routing time.

5

Human-in-the-loop review

Low-confidence cases route to cleared reviewers. Every model decision is replayable.

SEEMR REFERENCE

Routing inside the boundary

SEEMR's energy and capability modes are doubly valuable when every model runs locally. SEEMR matches model size to task difficulty without leaving the network.
