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.
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.
