We propose an audio-native explainability pipeline using Integrated Gradients on time-aligned self-supervised representations to localize decision evidence over time. We apply the proposed method to three WavLM-based detectors (AASIST, CA-MHFA, SLS) on ASVspoof 5 and manually annotate the highest-attribution regions to pr
