Provenance is evidence infrastructure for reviewable public-interest research. It is not a court, law firm, government agency, publisher of final findings, or source of legal advice.
Unreviewed submissions, annotations, entity candidates, relationship proposals, investigation notes, and contestations are not confirmed facts. They may be incomplete, disputed, incorrect, or awaiting review.
Even reviewed records should be read with their source context, confidence, review history, and limitations. A reviewed evidence relationship or annotation is not a legal conclusion about any person or organization.
Users are responsible for considering safety, privacy, copyright, defamation, and authorization before submitting or relying on material. Final public-launch wording requires human/legal review.
Legal review gaps
- Confirm jurisdiction-specific legal wording.
- Define moderation and emergency escalation policy.
- Define public/private workspace publication responsibilities.
