Explainability Is a Design Habit

If I cannot explain a system simply, I probably do not understand it well enough. Clarity is a quality check.

Explainability is not just for AI models. If I cannot explain a system, I probably do not understand it well enough.

Clear explanations surface flaws early. That is why I optimize for clarity in docs, abstractions, and how I present work.

In teams, explainability builds trust. It makes systems easier to extend, debug, and maintain, and it keeps me honest about what I actually know.
