abstract: Prompt logging alone is insufficient for financial AI accountability Reconstructing decisions requires preserving source files, retrieved evidence, and explicit assumptions The author argues this evidence trail must be built into the system architecture, not added as an afterthought

additional property: Missing Context
  type: PropertyValue
  value: No mention of existing tools (e.g. LangChain tracing, MLflow, custom lineage systems), no reference to regulatory guidance (e.g. SR 11-7, EU AI Act financial annexes), no acknowledgment of legacy infrastructure constraints
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Combines domain credibility ('financial AI') with fiduciary language ('revisit a decision', 'trust an answer') to elevate a design opinion into a de facto standard. The framing makes the proposal feel larger than warranted by implying broad consensus and urgency, while validation remains entirely anecdotal and untested.
