A Reddit user fed Claude 88 frames of alley CCTV showing his crash and got back a 300 dpi forensic plate. The clever part: Claude tracked the phone's centroid across four frames, fitted a parabola, and used the fitted acceleration as g to derive the pixel scale — cancelling out the unknown camera tilt. Verdict: 2.23 m/s at contact, 23 cm drop, 480 N over 2.7 ms into a PVC pipe. Wrist still broken.
