Decision Support Interface
This system informs human decisions. It does not make them.
Signal
Sensors detect cable tampering
Insight
AI analyzes threat probability
Decision
Human reviews projections
Action
Operator authorizes response
Outcome
Theft prevented or mitigated
Decision Point 1: Budget Allocation
What the AI Shows
Projected 5-year cost savings at different investment levels. ROI ratios, incidents avoided, and households protected for budget scenarios from R50K to R500K.
What the AI Does NOT Decide
- • Whether BCMM should reallocate budget
- • Which department funds the project
- • Political feasibility of the investment
Decision Point 2: Zone Deployment Priority
What the AI Shows
Risk-ranked list of 10 cable zones based on incident frequency and infrastructure exposure.
What the AI Does NOT Decide
- • Community impact of deployment delays
- • Operational access constraints
- • Municipal political priorities
Decision Point 3: Alert Escalation
What the AI Shows
Detection event with confidence score. Sensor vibration pattern, zone location, and threat assessment.
What the AI Does NOT Decide
- • Whether to dispatch police or security
- • Level of force or response required
- • Whether the event is a genuine threat

Decision Audit Log
Every consequential action recorded in this session requires human authorization.
No decisions recorded yet. Use the decision point cards above to record human authorizations.
Note: This log demonstrates that every consequential action requires human authorization. In a production system, this audit trail would be immutable and timestamped to a secure ledger.
What This System Does NOT Do
CableGuard AI is a decision-support simulator — not an automated system, not a surveillance tool, and not a replacement for human judgment.
- Identify or monitor individual people
- Automate police dispatch
- Make budget decisions on behalf of BCMM
- Replace human investigators or municipal officers
- Use real personal or location data of residents
- Claim to predict exact theft dates or perpetrators
