Ampere — Risk Instrument

Ampere is an environmental-risk instrument for South African homes. It gives your suburb one honest number — and shows you exactly where that number comes from. Calibrate once to your suburb and grid context, and Ampere computes a 0–100 risk score from air quality, grid stability, water and geo exposure. No alarms. No colour-coded panic. Just a measured reading and the sources behind it. WHAT IT DOES · Risk — a single composite score with air, grid, water and geo component cards. Each card shows its sub-score, the source it came from, the confidence in that source, and the date it was last checked. Tap Source Trace to see the full provenance. · Compare — put your suburb next to another and see which way the numbers actually fall, component by component. · Listening — log grid interruptions as they happen. Over weeks the pattern becomes visible: when your block sheds, how long, what it cost you. · Habits — adopt resilience habits that honestly reduce your exposure or vulnerability. They never pretend to lower the suburb's score; they lower yours. Streaks included. · Pantry — a 72-hour readiness tracker across water, power, food, medical and connectivity, with use-soon expiry windows. WHY IT EXISTS Most "risk" apps give you a red light and no reason. Ampere refuses that. Every score is traceable to a named source, a confidence level and a date — the same discipline a bank or insurer would demand of an environmental risk number. If a live source is unavailable, Ampere says so and falls back to a documented public-data catalog, clearly marked. This is an instrument, not a dashboard. It reports what is measured. It does not predict, it does not catastrophise, and it does not sell your data because there is no server to sell it from. PRIVACY POSTURE · Everything is computed on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no sign-in. · No servers, no third-party SDKs, no analytics, no advertising. · Location is optional — used once to match your nearest suburb, then discarded. The coordinate is never stored or transmitted. · Notification permission is requested only if you set a threshold alert. Built in South Africa, for South African suburbs and grids — Eskom direct, municipal, prepaid, estate and solar-hybrid contexts, from Sandton to Soweto to the Highveld. Ampere by Quantyx.
