What this tier means
High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.
How Gorganizer detects this
Fake employer benefits open enrollment requiring credential entry via a non-official HR portal — impersonating Workday, ADP, BambooHR, or Gusto. Real benefits open enrollment is conducted through the employer's authenticated HR portal with existing credentials; employees are NEVER asked to re-enter credentials via cold inbound email. HSA contribution + dependent coverage + benefits portal login from a non-official HR vendor domain is a credential-harvest lure. Detection: open enrollment/benefits selection vocabulary + HSA contribution/dependent coverage/benefits portal sign-in action + sender NOT on official HR platform domain allowlist (workday.com, adp.com, bamboohr.com, gusto.com) + no In-Reply-To + no List-Unsubscribe. Trash score: +3. Source: GC1-R18; SHRM HR phishing advisory 2025; FBI BEC benefits open enrollment variant.
False-positive guard
Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a threat-tier signal — it adds a strong contribution to the trash score. The full pipeline still requires convergence across multiple modules + a margin over the safety floor before deletion happens, and Gmail's trash (30-day recovery) is always used — never permanent delete.
About the scoring engine
Gorganizer's scoring engine emits over 1,800 signals across six modules — headers, sender, subject, body, attachments, and structural metadata. Every email is scored by every module independently; the final verdict requires multiple modules to agree and the trash score to beat the safety floor by a margin.
Sacred safety guards — never delete starred emails, replies, calendar invites, receipts/invoices, or attachments — apply unconditionally regardless of any signal.
