Situation data is orientation — not a dispatch order.
A detected hazard does not automatically mean that help is needed. Concrete needs are reported separately and kept clearly apart from situation data.
- 01Detect the situationData from several trustworthy sources.
- 02Put it in contextSource, recency and reliability stay visible.
- 03Report the need separatelyOnly a concrete need starts the search for matching help.
