Define what counts as compliant

Document the expected placement, acceptable variations, and the evidence a reviewer needs. Distinguish a missing item from an empty shelf, a substitute product, and an obstructed image.

Check image quality and coverage

Plan camera positions, lighting, and capture frequency around the actual task. Test difficult views and crowded shelves. Confirm the supported image workflow and data handling with the implementation team before relying on automated checks.

Route uncertain findings to people

Review ambiguous detections before assigning corrective work. Track false alarms and missed issues against a manually reviewed sample. Use these results to adjust the process rather than assuming every detection is correct.
