Date

Status
PARTIALLY CLASSIFIED

The archive’s short-lived automated classification policy. JANUS-3 estimates not whether information is secret, but whether releasing it is likely to create administrative inconvenience.

OPEN — unlikely to generate correspondence.

OPEN WITH NOTE — may generate questions answerable in under five minutes.

RESTRICTED — likely to generate a meeting.

CONFIDENTIAL — likely to generate a committee.

CLASSIFIED — likely to generate minutes, actions and follow-up.

HIGHLY CLASSIFIED — plausible risk of external review.

DELETE — predicted to require a policy.

An appeal against JANUS-3 is assigned an inconvenience score of 0.84 by default.

[CLASSIFIED: inconvenience score 0.91]
