12 pounds is a lot to bring back over grind size, guy must really care about his burgers. Double grind through 1/8 does make it tighter, sure, but mushy? That's a stretch. Most folks can't even tell the difference once it hits the flat top. Single grind gives you those loose bits that fall apart, which some people actually want for smash patties. Feels like he just wanted it his way and blamed your setup.

So the AI was wrong this time and you got lucky with your logs, but that doesn't mean tracking your own data is some magic shield. Next time management might build their own version that already knows about the broken tape and the wait times, and then your logs just prove their point. You didn't beat the system, you just found a gap in a half-built pilot that they'll patch in six months.

Rechecking saved your ass, thats the whole job right there.
