Model Drift Monitoring / Monitoring Cost

Kind: tension

Record: tension:model-drift-monitoring-monitoring-cost

Canonical: Schema

"model-drift-monitoring" (correctness-core layer) is traded against "Monitoring Cost" (performance-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Monitoring Cost" and choosing an explicit operating point.

Listed in Tensions, after Prompt Engineering / Robustness and before Agentic Architecture / Determinism.
