Explainability in artificial intelligence remains a critical barrier to adoption in safety‑critical domains such as healthcare, finance, and autonomous systems. While many commercial platforms tout built‑in interpretability, they often lock users into proprietary ecosystems and obscure the underlying model internals. This article presents a fully open source stack that enables reproducible, aud...
