Deliverables – choose one of the following:

Docker image ready for local download and installation.

Bootable microSD image for the Pi 5.

Compact AI model that runs fully offline (TensorRT, OpenVINO, or other optimized framework preferred).

Well-documented code (Python preferred) with automated deployment scripts.

Secure configuration for SQL and MQTT connections (environment variables).
