Provenance refers to annotating how each key claim was sourced, distinguished in this article's schema by four values READ, EXECUTED, INFERRED, BLOCKED, replacing 'does the result look right' with 'can the result be traced'.
The authors added a required provenance field to each judging agent's output schema, both tested models followed it well, the cost was almost zero, and the output went from 'confident' to 'verifiable'.
Provenance annotation is the foundation of RAG reliability, requiring that every piece of text be traceable to its position and role in the original file.
Decision provenance and trace reconstruction typically rely on structured logging and distributed tracing systems in technical implementation.
