SafeHaven (Project One) - Kiva (Project Two)
Important
BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT
This repository is a documentation-first UI-UX evidence locker built for portfolio review.
Operational framing:
Operation SafeHaven - safety-critical caregiver interface designed for high stress and time compression.
Operation Kiva - austere USSD borrower flow (Edge) paired with a cloud lender dashboard (Core) under cost and latency discipline.
Engineering posture:
Explicit constraints and failure modes.
Estimates marked "EST" when data is incomplete.
Requirement-to-evidence traceability is treated as a first-class deliverable.

| Directive | Specification |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Preserve course artifacts as an auditable portfolio package for defense-tech review. |
| Deliverables | Wireframes, requirements, risk register, traceability matrix, PDFs, local prototype. |
| Verification | Markdown lint, spell check, link integrity (Lychee) via GitHub Actions. |
| Reader model | Recruiter scan in seconds, technical lead deep dive on demand. |
Why this repo exists (expand)
This course did not require a repository. I built one anyway.
Intent:
- Preserve evidence in a reviewable structure.
- Translate UI-UX intent into verifiable artifacts.
- Demonstrate documentation discipline expected in high-reliability environments.
Standards and constraints (expand)
| Category | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Evidence format | Markdown evidence packages, PDF submissions, PNG wireframes |
| Prototype | HTML, CSS, vanilla JavaScript (local only) |
| Design doctrine | WCAG 2.2 informed design, platform guidance, constraint-first decisions |
| Security posture | Public portfolio - no backend, no user data, no credentials |

Operating environment: Residential setting. Operator experiences cognitive load and time pressure during escalations.
Objective: Reduce errors during escalation and preserve privacy during alerts.
| Hazard | Control | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Wandering beyond a safe boundary | Three-state status model to reduce decision time. | wireframes.md |
| Unattended thermal source (stove-oven) | High salience alert plus immediate response action. | design_rationale_from_submission.md |
| Lock-screen privacy during alerts | Non-descriptive notifications and escalation handling. | notification_privacy_policy.md |
| Phase | Artifact |

Operating environment: Emerging markets. Many borrowers use USSD on shared devices. Lenders view data in the cloud.
Objective: Support borrower repayment planning without transaction history. Provide lender dashboards under cost and latency discipline.
| Constraint | Control | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| USSD timeouts and limited input | Flat menu, numeric inputs, short strings. | kiva_wireframes.md |
| Shared-device privacy risk | Minimal identifiers, 0-exit, non-sensitive labels. | kiva_wireframes.md |
| Cloud cost discipline | Aggregations and precomputed metrics. | kiva_cloud_architecture.md |
| Phase | Artifact |
|---|---|
| Intel | kiva_user_needs_summary.md |
| Requirements | requirements_kiva.md |
| Wireframes | kiva_wireframes.md |
| Cloud architecture | kiva_cloud_architecture.md |
| Submission | CS319_Project_Two_Report.pdf |

Risk register: risk_register.md.
Warning
SCOPE BOUNDARY
This repository is UI-UX evidence. It intentionally does not implement a backend. Verification focuses on documentation integrity, traceability, and prototype behavior.
