How is this tough?!
The system detected a loud noise as fireworks... that should be the end of it!
Let the cards fall where they may, if cops go out they go out, they go out, otherwise that's that.
You don't get to go back days later and reclassify it as a gunshot based on ambiguity inherent to your product, and you don't get to go back and move the origin.
This is not tough at all, it literally should work exactly like it works today, and no one is allowed to change the initial call manually.
After all, who is helped by retroactively marking it as a gunshot but a DA?

If the concern is building up statistics or something, ShotSpotter is still recording that it heard a sound. Nothing is stopping an out of band note that says "we believe this recording was tied to so and so incident at so and so location"
The key difference though is that ShotSpotter is no long claiming to have recorded that incident directly. Which matters when people's freedom is at stake.
