Conversational assistants powered by large language models (LLMs) excel at tool-use tasks but struggle with adhering to complex, business-specific rules. While models can reason over business rules provided in context, including all policies for every query introduces high latency and wastes compute. Furthermore, these lengthy prompts lead to long contexts, harming overall performance due to the ’needle-in-a-haystack’ problem. To address these challenges, we propose a multi-stage alignment method that teaches models to recall and apply relevant business policies during chain-of-thought reasoning at inference time, without including the full business policy in-context. Furthermore, we introduce a novel Policy Recall reward based on the Jaccard score and a Hallucination Penalty for GRPO training. Altogether, our best model outperforms the baseline by **16 points** and surpasses comparable *in-context* baselines of similar model size by **3 points**, while using **40% fewer words**.
