5pages on this subject — across the log, the case studies and the documentation.
Provenance Engine
Indexes a corpus, computes a Merkle root over the document manifest, and returns a signed, tamper-evident receipt for an AI output: this span matches document X at offset Y, under corpus root R, at time T.
What a receipt proves
A signed statement that a span of AI output matches a specific document, at a specific offset, under a specific corpus, at a specific time.
Merkle roots, plainly
How one short value can prove that none of a million documents has changed.
Verifying one yourself
Verification is free, forever — and the reason is not generosity.
Status: in design
What exists, what does not, and what would have to be true before any of it is sold.
