Publishing with Provenance Layers

Projection: publications will let readers inspect capture credentials, licensed ingredients, human edits, AI transformations, and editorial approval as separate layers. Good design will make verification available without overwhelming ordinary reading, and it will clearly show when provenance is missing rather than equating absence with deception.

Why this idea is here

What the evidence establishes.

C2PA 2.4 defines composable manifests; NIST recommends combining provenance with labeling, detection, testing, and ongoing audit.
