Regulators and data subjects are being promised explanations that no current system can honestly produce. The missing piece is not a better story after the fact. It is a signed, replayable account written before the act.
Explanation rights under modern data and artificial intelligence law assume the existence of a record that most systems never kept. I argue that an explanation you cannot replay is a press release, and that the only honest answer is a signed, hash-chained account written before each action and verifiable offline by anyone.
