Trust posture

Source-tracked records

YotSignal keeps source context attached to builder, model, specification, document, media, and listing information, so marine teams can understand where information came from and how it should be used.

Source context, review state, and public-use posture stay separate.

01 / The idea

Where information came from stays with the record.

A source-tracked record carries its own context. Nothing is presented as fact without a way to see where it came from.

What a source-tracked record is

A record whose information keeps its source context attached, so a marine team can always see where a fact came from before deciding how to use it.

Why source context matters

Information about a boat can come from many places that do not always agree. Keeping the source with the record is how a team tells a confirmed detail from something that still needs a second look.

Source-tracked is not public authority

Having a source attached is a starting point, not a stamp of approval. YotSignal keeps source context, review state, and public-use posture as three separate things.

02 / How a record reads

Record type to allowed use.

Each kind of record keeps its source context, carries a review status, and has a clear public-use posture.

Source-tracked does not automatically mean public authority. YotSignal separates source context, review state, and public-use posture, so a record can be useful for research long before it is presented publicly.

03 / Two different things

Source-tracked vs publicly approved.

Source-tracked

The information carries its source context and can be researched, compared, and prepared. It may still be in review, and it is not, by itself, a public claim.

Publicly approved

The information has been reviewed and cleared for public-facing use. Public approval is a separate step that happens after review, not something a source attachment grants on its own.
