Provenance
Provenance is the recorded origin and history of a contract artifact — a clause, a draft, a routing decision, an approval, an executed obligation. Provenance answers: where did this come from, when, on what authority, and what changed? In AI-assisted workflows, provenance is the chain that makes the AI's contribution auditable rather than opaque.

Legal Operations / GC. Provenance is what makes a regulator, auditor, or court accept the AI-assisted output as defensible.

Provenance on the IntelAgree platform
