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 Small Business Administration (SBA), Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL), or small business lender claiming a loan or grant has been pre-approved and requiring business banking credentials via email link to disburse funds — advance-fee fraud and credential harvest targeting small business owners. Real SBA EIDL and PPP disbursements are processed through verified SBA.gov portal accounts and direct ACH to pre-registered bank accounts; unsolicited emails claiming SBA loan approval are scams. Detection: SBA/EIDL/small business loan approved/disburse + provide bank account/routing number/submit banking for loan vocabulary + no List-Unsubscribe + no In-Reply-To + not protected sender. Trash score: +4. Source: GC1-R23; SBA EIDL fraud alert 2025; FBI IC3 SBA impersonation scam advisory.

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.
