Provenance Graph

FlowRidge

A provenance graph represents the complete chain of data sources, processing steps, and agent interactions leading to an AI output.

What this means in practice

In multi-agent systems, these show information flow and tool invocations. For organizations requiring accountability, they provide reconstructable audit evidence. In COMPEL, they are covered in Module 2.5, Articles 11-12.
