A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement describes NIGHTCOUNT, a nightly photographic shelf-count reconciliation system deployed at a single corner store, and reports a regional insurer's adoption of its unbroken clearance streak as sufficient grounds on its own to waive the store's discretionary claims excess, with no manual override. An independent blind recount taken across the same fourteen weeks diverges steadily from the streak as it lengthens.
