Pharos

A labeled fleet testbed for federated personalization with a governed disclosure boundary.

Sensitivity Compartments Capacity

What is Pharos?

The problem

Federated personalization splits what a model learns into local and shared knowledge. Deciding which stays local is a disclosure problem.

The gap

Public corpora label on a single sensitivity ladder. Real disclosure policy is not a ladder: two holders at the same level with different compartments are incomparable.

Pharos

Synthetic corpora labelled on that lattice, with privacy leakage, over-escalation and personalization measured against content-defined ground truth.

Aggregate

A seeded corpus is labelled on the lattice and checked by the shortcut gate. Each item routes to a personal adapter that never leaves its holder, or to a shared fleet adapter aggregated by a robust rule. The architecture walks through every stage and module.
