Measured prediction latency meets the SLO and requested explanations remain complete and reproducible. This is evidence for a different corrective change: Separate or selectively run explanation workloads when policy permits while preserving required auditability. That other change addresses: A regulated prediction endpoint recomputes expensive explanations synchronously for every low-risk request and breaches the latency SLO. It does not validate the specific Mercury Travel Tech remediation for: A production endpoint upgrades its model in place with no isolated candidate environment, making rollback dependent on restoring files manually. The necessary check instead is: An injected failure shifts traffic back to the prior environment without model artifact changes.

Stage-level traces show the preprocessing delay reduced while prediction parity remains within tolerance.
