- In short
- Code execution as a verification technique means having Claude compute a figure by running code over the actual data rather than generating it as prose. A prose number is the model best estimate of a calculation it did not perform step by step; a code-executed number is a computed, re-runnable, checkable result. The guarantee is traceability, not correctness, because the code itself can still contain a bug, and the technique is reserved for numbers that materially matter.
