Summary

A separation theorem argues that accuracy, calibration and coverage cannot certify explanation fidelity.

The proposed competence envelope combines prediction and explanation checks because a reliable and compromised model can be identical on output-side certificates while differing in decision mechanism and deployment behavior.

Why it matters

A separation theorem argues that accuracy, calibration and coverage cannot certify explanation fidelity.

Limits and context

No additional limitation was separately recorded.

Key claims
