Model Explainability
Techniques and interfaces that show why an AI model produced a particular prediction or decision, for data scientists debugging models, staff reviewing cases, regulators and the customers affected.
Capability overview
What model explainability involves
When a model declines a claim or flags a transaction, someone will ask why. Credit officers need reasons they can relay to applicants, investigators need to know which signals drove a fraud alert, and model validators need to confirm the model relies on sensible factors. Explainability provides those answers at the right level for each audience.
We use methods suited to the model and question: global feature importance and partial dependence for overall behaviour, SHAP values for individual predictions, counterfactual explanations that show what would change the outcome, and, where transparency is essential, inherently interpretable models such as scorecards or monotonic gradient boosting.
What is included
Explainability deliverables
Global model insight
Analysis of which features matter overall and how they influence predictions, used to catch spurious correlations.
Local explanations
Per-decision explanations computed at prediction time and stored with the decision record for review.
Reason codes
Technical explanations translated into plain-language reasons suitable for customer letters or agent screens.
Counterfactuals
Actionable statements of what would need to differ for a different outcome, checked for feasibility.
Model documentation
Model cards describing intended use, data, performance, limitations and explanation methods.
How we work
How we deliver model explainability
Audience needs
Who needs explanations, for which decisions and in what form determined with each group.
Method selection
Explanation techniques tested for stability and faithfulness on the specific model.
Validation
Explanations reviewed by domain experts to confirm they are sensible and not misleading.
Integration
Explanation generation added to serving pipelines and case management interfaces.
Documentation and training
Staff trained to interpret explanations and model cards published internally.

Questions about Model Explainability

Ask a questionOnly partly. Feature attribution methods do not translate well to generative models. For LLM applications, transparency focuses on citing sources, logging context and reasoning steps, and evaluating behaviour systematically.
Post-hoc explanation methods do not change the model. Choosing an inherently interpretable model can cost some accuracy, which is sometimes worthwhile in regulated decisions.
They are widely used but can be unstable with correlated features or misread by non-specialists. We validate explanations and present them with appropriate caveats.
Explainability analysis for a model is fixed price. Integration of explanations into production systems and user interfaces is quoted separately.
