What this tier means
High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.
How Gorganizer detects this
Phishing emails impersonating Big 4 accounting firms (PwC, Deloitte, EY, KPMG) or top management consultancies (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) sending "confidential audit findings" with a malicious PDF attachment or portal link, from non-official domains. Three-part detection: (1) Big 4 / McKinsey brand mention, (2) confidential audit / board attention / management letter language, (3) PDF attachment, sender NOT on official firm domain, no List-Unsubscribe. Proofpoint 2026; Cofense Big4-impersonation campaign Q1 2026. CFO / board-level social engineering.
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.
