The lineage-layer position for tracing the full ancestry of any outcome.

Every outcome has a history — a chain of decisions, data, and agents that produced it. This name holds the infrastructure that makes that history legible.

Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.

Why this is canonical

'Data lineage' is an established data engineering concept; extending it to 'outcome lineage' names an emerging and necessary function as AI systems produce consequential outputs: the ability to trace any outcome back through its full causal history — data inputs, model decisions, agent actions, and human interventions.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI accountability and auditability
Full lineage traces of AI-produced outcomes — for regulatory audit, incident review, and model improvement.
AI governance platforms, regulated industry AI teams, compliance tooling builders
Agentic pipeline provenance
Lineage tracking across multi-agent workflows to understand which agents, inputs, and decisions contributed to a final result.
Agent orchestration platforms, MLOps tooling vendors

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