Decision Logging and Accountability (Why Audits Matter)
Decision Logging and Accountability (Why Audits Matter)
What to log
- Goal and constraints
- Options considered
- Chosen action
- Evidence and tool outputs
- Confidence and risk flags
Explainability
Users don’t need chain-of-thought, but they do need reasons: “I chose X because Y evidence, and it satisfies Z constraints.”
Incident response
Logs are your black box recorder. Without them, you can’t fix decision bugs.
