What they did
He runs tech for two retail chains. Their store camera AI counted 13 times a seller walked up to a customer in one day. He had Claude Code check each one against the recording: about 5 or 6 were real, about 4 or 5 were false, and the rest couldn't be told. The metric was off by roughly half and looked fine on the dashboard. Next, every visit gets a simple yes/no 'approached' mark so any single one can be opened and checked.

Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Our [dashboard/system] reports [metric] from [camera/sensor/log data]. Take a sample of [number] counted events and check each one against the raw source ([recordings/logs]). Mark each real, false or unclear, and give me the error rate. Suggest a simple way to label each event so a person can spot-check it later.
