  • Building a bug scanner that prioritizes important bugs over the many low-impact ones in complex codebases.
  • Quantifying bug importance by comparing Detail's findings against code review bots using an LLM judge and ranking system.
  • Detail's bug reports were found to be significantly more important than those from code review bots, with a high signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Human or agent validation showed an 82.9% correctness rate for Detail's findings in recent months.
  • Example provided: Detail found a security vulnerability in PostHog where private sandbox environment secrets were accessible to other team members.
  • Tests comparing Claude Code's ability to find important bugs showed it struggled compared to Detail's targeted scanning approach.
