Why Data provenance matters when licensing company data to AI
Data provenance is the documented origin and history of a dataset: where it came from, who authorized its release and what was done to it. Buyers ask for provenance to confirm the supplier has the right to share the records. Preparing it means recording the source systems, the approval given, the date range and each change made before delivery.
