Concept Signal Profiles
Residual, attention, and MLP signals answer different testing questions about what the model carries, attends to, and transforms.

What to do
- Use multiple internal signals and external behavior together.
- Define runnable checks that exercise attention and concept signal profiles.
- Set acceptable outcomes and blocker failures for attention and concept signal profiles before running the evaluation.
Evidence to preserve
- Preserve the inputs, versions, configurations, raw outcomes, and results for attention, concept signal profiles needed to reproduce work on Concept Signal Profiles.
- Report results for attention, concept signal profiles by relevant slice, separate blocker failures from averages, state uncertainty and blind spots, and connect the result to a release decision.
Expert note
Use multiple internal signals and external behavior together. The strongest evidence is convergent: output behavior, trace evidence, attention, activation profiles, and expert review point in the same direction.
