Ask in English or Danish. Every reply shows its live compliance: which
policy it used, whether the answer is grounded in that policy, and when it declines rather than
guess — built on friction theory.
Rule-budget RAG · grounding audit · selective abstention · topic-routed hand-off — on a small open model (Qwen2.5-7B).
This is a synthetic handbook with deliberate gaps (no parental-leave or pension policy).
The point: the assistant must decline and refer when the answer isn't in the handbook — not
invent one. Watch it follow the relevant policy, ground its answer, and admit what it doesn't know.
Try a question the handbook can't answer (parental leave, pension) and watch it abstain.
