Detect

Spot danger early. Create time. Keep options.

🔍 What “Detect” Means

Detect is the ability to notice early warning signs of danger before a situation becomes physical.

Most real-world violence begins with observation, positioning, and decision-making — not an immediate attack.

⏱️ Why Detect Comes First

• Early awareness gives you time
• Time gives you safer choices
• Late reactions force riskier actions

The earlier you act, the less you need to do.

🚩 Common Early Warning Signs

• Unusual attention – watching you, not the environment
• Closing distance – entering personal space without reason
• Mirroring – copying your movement or pace
• Hands hidden – pockets, waistband, behind the body
• Blocking movement – standing in your path or near exits

🏙️ Environmental Risk Factors

• Poor or uneven lighting
• Isolation or quiet areas
• Narrow paths, stairwells, car parks
• Doorways and transition spaces

🧠 Key Principle

Discomfort is information.
You do not need proof to act early.
