Pakistan Notice Helper is not an authenticity checker. It does not claim that a message is officially genuine or fraudulent. Instead, it works as a triage tool. It accepts text or a screenshot and returns a risk label, a short explanation, visible red flags, and safe next steps.

The project fits the Backyard AI track because it focuses on a specific local problem: scam-style notices and suspicious messages in Pakistan.

Instead of building a large general-purpose assistant, I wanted to see how far a small model could go when the scope was clear, the product behavior was well-defined, and the interface was designed around real users.

I initially tested a larger Qwen model, but the final production choice became Qwen3.5 4B Q8 through llama.cpp. It passed all high-risk scam cases and both screenshot cases in my ten-case evaluation. That made it a practical choice for a small-model safety assistant.
