YouTube are actually adding some tech to help with this. In future when making a claim you have to add the timestamps in the video where the copyright occurs. Then the creator will get that info as well as a few simple quick-fix options to cut out that portion of the video or replace it.

It's long overdue but they do seem to be making some strides to help creators at last.

Interesting, is there a source about these changes?
Yes, but will it detect the claims and allow you to fix them without stealing all your revenue?
Yes, but subject to claimant's approval if you did not remove the offending sections.
A part of me feels like claimants will find a way of gaming this and making their approval a series of endlessly nudged goalposts...given the way IP holders are already taking advantage of the tools already at their disposal.
No, two rounds max; both parties lose (suspect's video deleted and claimant gets a strike) it is not resolved in two rounds.
So the claimant still, invariably get what they want, which is a pulled/not published video? That doesn’t sound like both parties losing to me.
You seem to have forgot the 3 strike rule.
