    "patent_abstract": "A compliance system for a critical environment includes at least one sensor configured to output sensor measurements relating to at least one environmental condition of the critical environment, and a computing system. The computing system is programmed to record a warning when the sensor measurements are out of compliance relative to a compliance standard for longer than a warning delay time, generate an alert in response to a combination of recording the warning and a non-improving trend of the sensor measurements, and in response a combination of recording the warning and an improving trend of the sensor measurements, suppress the alert until the improving trend continues with the sensor measurements out of compliance for greater than an alert delay time.",
    "precision_class": "structural",
    "invention_explanation": "A system that waits for a sustained out-of-compliance reading and checks whether conditions are improving before escalating a sensor warning into an alert.",
