Abstract

High-stakes enterprise document generation, including financial dispute narratives, compliance notices, and audit summaries, demands schema correctness, policy compliance, and low-latency operation at scale. Prior to a unified guardrail layer, production systems often stitched together separate PII redaction, content moderation, and format validation steps, leading to fragmented logic, slower request paths, and higher operational cost. We present a guardrail orchestration layer for text and image inputs that couples multi-candidate generation with an explicit compliance score used for early exit. The framework runs configurable parallel generation heads, scores candidates against weighted guardrails including PII detection, content moderation, schema constraints, and domain rules, and returns the best-scoring output with selection metadata. The available operational readout reports 5 attempts within 20 seconds and 91 percent compliance. For payments dispute defense summaries, we analyze aggregate operational scenario readouts rather than a randomized A/B test. Variable cohorts show higher count win rates than controls overall, 301/659 versus 536/1548, corresponding to +11.0 percentage points with 95 percent confidence interval [6.6, 15.5] and p < 0.001, and for adjusted item-not-received cases, +7.5 percentage points with 95 percent confidence interval [0.2, 15.7] and p = 0.045. Fraud and local evidence-ranking deltas are directionally positive but not statistically significant from the aggregate count data. We also report reviewer-calibrated Responsible-AI evidence-quality signals from 770 generated-evidence reviews and a 70-case OCR slice, and document the reproducibility boundary through the request interface, scoring logic, pseudocode, and operational evidence boundary.

Hierarchical Online Prompt Mutation with Dual-Loop Feedback for Guardrailed Evidence Document Generation: A Production-Evaluation Case Study

High-stakes production document-generation systems require language models to be adaptive, evidence-grounded, and auditable. We present HOPM, a hierarchical online prompt mutation framework evaluated on a real marketplace dispute-evidence workflow. HOPM treats prompts as online policies: a family/version router selects a prompt, deterministic guardrails attribute failures to mutable prompt-token categories, and dual feedback from human review and an automated judge updates both routing and mutation priorities. The primary evidence is an observed matched production-evaluation ablation: seven variants are evaluated on the same 600 cases each, enabling component comparisons against static prompting, manual iteration, bandit-only routing, mutation-only adaptation, human-only feedback, auto-judge-only feedback, and full dual-loop HOPM. Full HOPM improves count win rate over a static control from 34.7% to 45.7% (+11.0 pp; paired McNemar p = 1.31e-11) and amount-weighted win rate from 22.3% to 41.4% (+19.1 pp; 95% paired bootstrap CI [10.3, 28.9] pp). It also increases mean Likert quality from 3.18 to 4.40 and reduces issue-flag rate from 15.3% to 5.2%. Supporting review artifacts cover 770 generated-text reviews, 318 labeled reviewer exports, a 10-case/61-rating calibration slice, and a 70-case/350-rating OCR benchmark; these artifacts calibrate rubric, guardrail, title-risk, and OCR-risk interpretation rather than substituting for the production ablation. The paper includes control setup, sample sizes, confidence intervals, paired tests, prompt-token categories, pseudocode, schema, rubric, guardrail taxonomy, and a constructed example so the evaluation structure can be reproduced without exposing proprietary evidence.

PolicyGuard: From Organizational Policies to Neuro-SymbolicCompliance Review Engines

Policy-grounded document review requires determining whether a target document complies with organization-specific policies, guidelines, or playbooks. While large language models can assist with policy interpretation and document analysis, end-to-end prompting leaves the applied policy logic implicit, making compliance decisions difficult to inspect, update, and test. We present PolicyGuard, a neuro-symbolic framework for policy-grounded document compliance review. PolicyGuard converts organizational policy guidance into an executable review engine consisting of typed relational logic rules and atom-level extraction questions. During review, LLMs answer these local questions using retrieved document evidence, and a symbolic evaluator applies the formal rules to detect non-compliance. We instantiate and evaluate PolicyGuard on company-specific NDA compliance review, where contract clauses must be checked against organization-specific negotiation policies. By separating policy formalization, local document interpretation, and symbolic compliance evaluation, PolicyGuard makes document review more explicit, maintainable, and systematically testable.

GLiGuard: Schema-Conditioned Classification for LLM Safeguard

Ensuring safe, policy-compliant outputs from large language models requires real-time content moderation that can scale across multiple safety dimensions. However, state-of-the-art guardrail models rely on autoregressive decoders with 7B--27B parameters, reformulating what is fundamentally a classification problem as sequential text generation, a design choice that incurs high latency and scales poorly to multi-aspect evaluation. In this work, we introduce \textbf{GLiGuard}, a 0.3B-parameter schema-conditioned bidirectional encoder adapted from GLiNER2 for LLM content moderation. The key idea is to encode task definitions and label semantics directly into the input sequence as structured token schemas, enabling simultaneous evaluation of prompt safety, response safety, refusal detection, 14 fine-grained harm categories, and 11 jailbreak strategies in a single non-autoregressive forward pass. This schema-conditioned design lets supported task and label blocks be composed directly in the input schema at inference time. Across nine established safety benchmarks, GLiGuard achieves F1 scores competitive with 7B--27B decoder-based guards despite being 23--90×\times smaller, while delivering up to 16×\times higher throughput and 17×\times lower latency. These results suggest that compact bidirectional encoders can approach the accuracy of much larger guard models while drastically reducing inference cost.
