If screenshots, flows, or even the domain are confidential, heavy anonymization can still expose internal information. - Show work you are authorized to recreate: a simplified wireframe, a redrawn component, or a fictionalized version of one interaction. Label it clearly as a reconstruction. - Example: instead of showing an internal operations dashboard, explain how you reduced a multi-step approval flow into two states, then use invented labels and sample data. - Be precise about what you cannot verify publicly: say it launched internally, avoid adoption or performance claims, and focus on your role, tradeoffs, and review process. Ask your manager or legal contact what level of reconstruction and attribution is permitted before publishing anything. Join the discussion ## Want to answer?
