Make Location AI Observable

Every route calculation, traffic prediction, and place recommendation becomes a queryable event. Finally understand why the navigation suggested that route.

Query Location AI Events

Route selection analysis
SELECT * FROM events
WHERE event_id LIKE 'location.route.%'
AND route_selected != fastest_route
Traffic prediction accuracy
SELECT AVG(ABS(predicted_eta - actual_eta))
FROM events
WHERE event_id = 'location.traffic.predicted:1'
Place recommendation patterns
SELECT place_type, COUNT(*) as recs
FROM events
WHERE event_id = 'location.place.recommended:1'
GROUP BY place_type
User location data access log
SELECT timestamp, purpose, data_accessed
FROM events
WHERE event_id = 'location.privacy.location_accessed:1'
AND user_id = ?

Before and After Observable Location AI

Without Event Model
"Why did the app route me through downtown?"
Traffic predictions feel arbitrary
Place recommendations seem random
No visibility into location data usage
GDPR audits require manual investigation
With Event Model
Every route decision traced with reasoning
Traffic model inputs fully auditable
Recommendation factors transparent
Complete location access audit trail
Automated GDPR compliance reports

Why Observable Location AI Matters

Privacy Transparency
Users see exactly how their location data is used, building trust through visibility.
Algorithm Accountability
Trace every route suggestion back to the data and logic that produced it.
Data Minimization Proof
Demonstrate that only necessary location data is collected and processed.
Traffic Model Validation
Compare predicted vs. actual ETAs to continuously improve accuracy.
Real-Time Debugging
Instantly identify why navigation gave unexpected directions.
Fair Treatment Verification
Ensure location AI doesn't discriminate against certain neighborhoods or users.

Regulatory Compliance
