The problem
Compliance owned the rules but engineering owned the prompts. Every policy change meant a release. Tone violations slipped through anyway.
Our approach
- 1Extracted latent directions for formality, verbosity, and risk-disclosure density.
- 2Built a policy-to-vector mapping that compliance can edit directly.
- 3Wired inference-time activation patching with rollback guardrails.
The outcome
Eleven distinct compliance policies became steerable without retraining. Tone-mismatch incidents fell 38% over the first quarter post-launch.
