Which risks could break the thesis, and what would warn of them?
Safience's main risk is political: a prospective buyer can walk away from a deployment once residents object to the technology's error rates on non-white faces, and a department scrapped plans to acquire its own software following resident outcry over false positives on non-white faces.
Biometrica calls itself a big data company, not a biometrics provider. Matches go to human review, and other images are discarded.
2Product Overview
What does the product do for its buyer, and how is it delivered?
Safience warns a facility when a person matching a known, legally defined risk appears: it matches each capture and sends it to a trained analyst, RTIS looks only for legally relevant, known risks, and that analyst confirms each match before any alert.
Safience leaves unflagged people who are neither threats nor victims, and its sensors record no video or audio.
