## AI overview

A production model's flagged-case precision declined after a new pricing tier changed how customers transacted, even though individual feature distributions remained within normal ranges. The account describes how feature-by-feature drift monitoring missed the shift in the relationship between features, motivating checks such as adversarial validation.
