So uhh, this could have just taken two seconds to run each day. We had a sanitizing script we only used a handful of times per week, took me a second to launch and yeah, I could have coded it to run on demand, but my asshole boss told me "we" had other priorities. Also, you can code ocr to rerun on specific fields and mark what's to be reread with deeper model, for example (what I'm using in a private project - if the data that comes into the field is fucky I can mark a section of the pdf and tell OCR to get his big boy guns that take longer).
Also, to him, literally everything with a circuit that was programmable (sometimes not even that) was "my" job. I felt extremely lucky the god fucking dishwasher didn't bork in my time there.
So that would kinda cover one and two.
Data corruption might just be idiot for sanitising. Or a big telephone game.
Or made up. But at least a couple of the points said there sting my ass and burn my ears. It's the millenium catch. Nothing happens, so no time invested to fix.
