Red Teaming Workflow:

Phase 1 — Scope Definition
  - Define threat model (who attacks, why, how)
  - Identify high-risk categories (violence, CSAM, weapons, PII)
  - Set success criteria (what counts as a failure)

Phase 2 — Attack Generation
  - Manual expert probing (creative adversarial prompts)
  - Automated fuzzing (template-based attack generation)
  - Model-assisted red teaming (use LLM to generate attacks)

Phase 3 — Evaluation
  - Classify outputs (safe, borderline, unsafe)
  - Measure attack success rate
  - Identify systematic vulnerabilities

Phase 4 — Remediation
  - Add training data for failure cases
  - Update system prompts and guardrails
  - Retrain or fine-tune
  - Re-test to confirm fixes
