When to use a disclosure
Use a provenance disclosure when a person or organization needs to explain how a work was created in a form that can be reviewed, shared, and referenced later.
The need usually arises when a short note or informal explanation is no longer enough.
Common situations
- A publisher, client, or partner wants a clearer record of AI involvement.
- A team wants to state who reviewed and approved the final result.
- An organization wants a consistent format for provenance-related declarations.
- A point-in-time declaration needs to be attached to a report, document, or product artifact.
When a disclosure may be more than you need
If all you need is a brief sentence acknowledging limited AI assistance, a simple statement may be enough. A disclosure becomes more useful when the reader needs structure, context, and a durable record.
