Why this is canonical

'Provenance' names the act of establishing verified origin — more formally than 'tracking' and more specifically than 'lineage.' Applied to lithium, it claims the position for the verification layer that battery makers, regulators, and ESG auditors need: not just a chain of custody record, but a verifiable claim of origin.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Battery materials verification
Providing verifiable provenance attestations for lithium used in battery cells — a formal claim of origin that withstands regulatory audit.
Battery manufacturers, cathode material suppliers, EV OEMs
Critical mineral ESG attestation
Issuing provenance credentials for lithium that document extraction site, chain of custody, and ESG compliance — ready for digital product passport submission.
ESG compliance platforms, mining companies, digital product passport vendors

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
