Whitepaper — Provenance-First Agent Pipelines
Whitepaper — Provenance-First Agent Pipelines — A practical approach to building agent systems that are replayable, explainable, and reviewable.
Thesis
The next wave of “agents” will be judged by:
- reliability under load
- auditability and replay
- evaluation and regression control
- governance posture for high-stakes domains
Core ideas
- Build transport reliability first (timeouts, concurrency, retries, streaming).
- Model workflows as stages with contracts (inputs/outputs).
- Attach provenance IDs to every artifact.
- Export evidence bundles for review (sources + lineage + outputs).
- Gate deployment with evaluation, not vibes.
