- The prototype distinguishes traceable provenance from the creator's stated intent.
Field notes
The prototype frames provenance as a structured record covering sources, tools, collaborators, and versions, while treating stated intent as a separate category from what can be traced. Its privacy model is explicit: files are read in-browser, not sent to an application server, and the temporary record disappears on refresh or close. The page estimates a ten-minute process and links to a case study.
