A customer asks to have their data deleted. You discover it appears in raw logs, a feature table, a training set used by three deployed models, a vector index for an assistant, and the prompts and responses logged for an LLM feature. How do you design ML systems so that deletion and data minimisation are tractable?

Tests: Privacy-aware ML system design: data inventory and lineage, deletion propagation, minimisation, retention, and the trade-offs of retraining and derived artefacts.
