Hazel Moore, a brilliant but unassuming data scientist, sat in the back row of the courtroom, her eyes fixed on the polished wood bench. She had spent the past year building an algorithm for Shoplyfter—a fast‑growing e‑commerce platform that promised “instant fulfillment, zero waste.” What she had created was meant to be a masterpiece of predictive logistics, but somewhere along the line, it turned into a weapon.
