Context: Relationship

How this system touches this person or group.

Decided aboutThe system produces an output about this person that affects them directly — a score, a match, an eligibility call.
Caught incidentallySwept into the system’s data even though it isn’t making a decision about them — a face in the background of a camera aimed elsewhere.
Wider communityA place or group affected collectively, beyond the individuals the system processes — a neighbourhood under watch, a ranked workforce.
