The algorithms underpinning many everyday communication processes are now complex enough that rendering them explainable has become a key governance objective. This article examines the question of 'who should be required to explain what, to whom, in platform environments'. By working with algorithm designers and using design methods to extrapolate existing capacities to explain aglorithmic functioning, the article discusses the power relationships underpinning explanation of algorithmic function. Reviewing how key concepts of transparency and accountability connect with explainability, the paper argues that reliance on explainability as a governance mechanism can generate a dangerous paradox which legitimates increased reliance on programmable infrastructure as expert stakeholders are reassured by their ability to perform or receive explanations, while displacing responsibility for understandings of social context and definitions of public interest

A number of challenges hinder the development of systems that support users in the conduct of their work. Challenges include the widespread use and acceptance of design methods that are system-centered rather than work-centered; the time required to develop a work-centered system design; the imprecise nature of translating work domain analysis results into a work-centered design; and unsatisfactory means for coordinating design and design-implementation processes. The Work-centered Infomediary Layer (WIL) design model and method have been developed to address challenges such as these and to facilitate work-centered design in general. In this paper, we describe the application of WIL to the design of a work-centered support system for defensive counterspace (DCS) operators. The design model and method are presented, followed by a description of the resulting system design and ways in which it was shaped and defined through use of the WIL method.
