BUILD 024 — The Best Data Risk Is Data Never Collected

SCENE 1
BUILD 024. MORE DATA ≠ MORE INTELLIGENCE. Every field creates exposure.

SCENE 2
PURPOSE. NAME THE DECISION. Permission cannot justify unnecessary collection.

SCENE 3
TEST. NECESSARY. OPTIONAL. SENSITIVE. DERIVED. PROHIBITED. Keep reasons and evidence visible.

SCENE 4
MINIMIZE. REMOVE BEFORE COLLECTION. Default optional fields off.

SCENE 5
EXIT. DESIGN DELETION FIRST. Assign retention, redaction, and downstream handling.

SCENE 6
SAFETY. NO DATA; NO BREACH PATH. The strongest minimization is absence.

FINAL PROPOSITION
The best data risk is data never collected.
