Scam-prevention trainers and vulnerable phone users
Worth noticing
The proposed breaker trips at a coercion index of 70 and brings a trusted person into the call.

Field notes

The project separates scam detection from caller reputation: its stated target is the coercive conversation itself. The page describes a five-part AWS architecture spanning transcription, analysis, playbook context, interruption, and reporting, with fictional scenarios and no recordings kept. It also links to GitHub and identifies the work as a WeMakeDevs × AWS First Commit hackathon submission, though the extracted page does not demonstrate the drill in operation.
