OSINT & Methodology
Provenance & Source Attribution
Provenance is the documented chain from a published score or brief back to the specific public sources it was built from, so any claim can be traced to its underlying evidence.
Provenance, or source attribution, is the discipline of keeping a documented chain from every published output back to the specific public sources behind it. For an OSINT product it is the difference between an assertion and a citation.
WorldMonitor carries provenance through its briefs, scores, and cached operational data with documented methodology, so a reader — or an AI agent consuming the API — can see not just what the platform concluded but which sources support it.
