This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition
TL;DR — A charity's proof of impact is made of other people's private lives, so it never gets published. Consent keeps the raw notes inside Snowflake and lets only a redacted dataset and a written brief out. Two things went wrong: the trial account refused nine of the eleven AI functions I designed around, and the boundary I built to protect the data didn't work. Both are in the post, with the error strings.
What I Built
A friend runs a three-person charity. Last year, a funder asked them to prove their work mattered. They could. They had two years of evidence sitting in a spreadsheet. They just couldn't send it.
Every row contained someone's name, phone number, address, and a story they had shared with the charity during the worst week of their life. Those people had trusted the charity to help them, not to turn their private circumstances into evidence for someone else. Sending the spreadsheet would have broken that trust.
