Why this is canonical

'Provenance' is one of the most durable concepts in information architecture and now in supply chain and AI discourse — it names the verified origin and chain of custody of anything. Applied to 'material', it maps precisely to the growing regulatory and market demand for traceable, authenticated physical goods. This .com position anchors that canonical intersection.
