A simple question exposes a surprising level of building risk:
“Who is actively watching this system—and what happens if there’s a trigger event?”
When the answer is unclear, shared, or assumed, alarms tend to become background noise rather
than actionable signals.
This shows up across building automation, leak detection, security, and networked systems.
Ambiguity isn’t neutral—it’s a form of risk.
