The idea
NIST separates three related qualities: transparency answers what happened in a system, explainability answers how a decision was made, and interpretability answers why, and what it means for the user.
In practice
A loan tool that logs its inputs is transparent; one that can also show which factors drove a decision is explainable.
Where people slip
A system can have one of these without the others.
