ProvenanceGate
Open sourceProvenance continuity checks for scientific AI artefacts. Detects a broken chain between an artefact and its source.
What it checks
- Provenance chain continuity
- Source and version attestation
- Detection of unattributable artefacts
What it does not check
- It verifies the chain, not the quality of what is at the end of it.
Where it sits
DELA
ProvenanceGate runs inside DELA
Deterministic Evidence Lineage Architecture
The underlying evidence changed. What does that affect?
DELA detects changes in scientific, operational or other source evidence, traces the affected dependencies, preserves the work that remains valid, selectively replays reproducible operations, and routes non-reproducible work to qualified human review.

Evidence
Every verdict leaves a record
| Property | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Determinism | The same input produces the same verdict. A result that does not reproduce is treated as a defect. |
| Signing | Verdicts are Ed25519 signed and anchored in a tamper-evident chain. |
| Replay | A sealed pack can be re-run later to detect verification drift. |
| Availability | Fail-closed. If this gate cannot be reached, the result is recorded as unavailable, never as a pass. |
| Independence | A third party can verify a pack without our source code and without contacting us. |
