C9.06
Cost of Sensor False Positives
Cards in this group · 7
- C9.06.1False-positive and false-negative costs are asymmetric
- C9.06.2Threshold choice is a product decision, not an algorithm decision
- C9.06.3High-consequence actions must not be decided by a single sensor
- C9.06.4Medical alarms usually prefer false positives over false negatives; consumer settings often reverse that
- C9.06.5Cost asymmetry should appear as a concrete classification threshold, not only as a stated principle
- C9.06.6Reusing one sensor across functions may require different false-positive tolerances
- C9.06.7Evaluating false-positive cost must include long-term trust loss, not only the harm of a single error
