Every AI system scales two things at once: capability and exposure. Most teams obsess over throughput, automation rate, cost savings. Very few quantify risk propagation. When an error happens, how far does it travel before detection? How many downstream decisions inherit that mistake? A mature AI audit measures blast radius, detection latency, and recovery cost, not just accuracy. It tests edge cases, monitors drift, and tracks override patterns over time. If your monitoring starts only after complaints, you are not scaling intelligence, you are scaling delayed failure. As AI Transformation Partners, our responsibility is to ensure speed does not outrun control. Scale without guardrails is not leverage. It is amplified fragility.
