Governed by design

Provenance, confidence, consent and human override are core features.

What this means

Why it matters

Governance is not a policy document attached after the fact. Provenance, freshness, confidence, consent and human override are built into the record and the workflow from the start.

In practice

Workflow implications

Facts are separated from inferences, and inferences from actions.
Every decision path has a visible review and override route.
Data rights and permissions govern selection, use and sharing.

The layer

How this shapes Property Spine

Property Spine makes the governed path the easy path. Controls live in the product, so trust scales with usage instead of depending on individual diligence.
