# Explainability / Model Complexity

> "explainability" (correctness-core layer) is traded against "Model Complexity" (correctness-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Model Complexity" and choosing an explicit operating point.
