Model provision
October uses commercially hosted OpenAI and Google models via API. The active models, deployment contexts and purposes are named in the public register.
Training and retention
Providers are contractually prohibited from using October customer data for training. Eligible API access uses zero data retention.
Consequential use
Hiring support remains advisory. Crisis and safeguarding signals break to a human or emergency pathway; the agent does not act beyond scope.
Testing and traceability
Prompt bias, flip testing, harm detection, concern recognition and safeguarding evaluations are published with method, sample and limitations.
Artifacts on request
Architecture decision records, detailed data lineage, threat models and development artifacts are maintained internally and can be shared with contracting agencies under NDA.
Accountability
The CEO is accountable for the programme; technical, privacy, product and governance owners maintain controls and change-triggered retesting.
