Every user against their own baseline, every day

Multiple testingHard

Problem. Your detector scores each of 80,000 employees against their own behavioral baseline, every day, and alerts at three standard deviations. A colleague says three sigma means 0.3% false positives, so expect about 240 alerts a day, which is a lot but manageable. Is that right?

Before you reveal: say your answer out loud, as if you were in the real interview — get your reasoning across clearly first. There is no single correct answer: reading what the interviewer is really after and defending your own thinking is what makes an answer strong.
