Introduction
Some of the most convincing models fail because they are too dependent on narrow assumptions.
Fragility is often hidden by smooth results and concise narratives.
The Core Idea
A durable model should not rely on a single parameter choice, a single market condition, or a single explanatory story.
Robustness review exists to uncover this dependence before scale is considered.
Closing Note
A model is most dangerous when it appears simple and complete but rests on fragile foundations.
