Teams can see who decided and why instead of starting the debate from zero.
Decision provenance
How Nura makes decision provenance visible.
Direct answer
Decision provenance is the record behind a decision. Nura attaches who decided, why it was decided, when it happened, where it was recorded, and whether it still holds to the answer itself.
A decision is more trustworthy when its record is visible.
The outcome alone is often insufficient. Nura keeps the owner, timing, reasoning, source, and status together so teams can verify the decision and understand whether an exception replaced or merely modified the rule.
Why provenance matters
Nura treats provenance as part of the answer.
Separates exceptions from policy
Nura keeps the scope of a one-off approval distinct from the standard rule.
Creates accountability
Every decision record can be attributed, reviewed, and corrected by an authorized user.
What Nura records
Five fields attached to the decision.
Who
The person or team Nura identifies as responsible for the decision.
Why
The reasoning and context attached to the decision.
When
The date and timing needed to evaluate recency.
Where
The approved source containing the original decision or evidence.
Status
Whether the decision still holds, was limited in scope, or has been superseded.
Example from Nura
A record, not just a rule.
The outcome alone is not provenance. Nura attaches the owner, date, source, reasoning, and current status.

The answer and the evidence stay together.
Practical value
Provenance changes how teams revisit decisions.
Evaluate changed circumstances
Teams can examine whether the reasoning still applies instead of debating from memory.
Review exceptions correctly
A one-time approval does not silently become the new company standard.
Correct the record
Authorized users can review and update an incorrect or incomplete decision record.
FAQs
Decision-provenance questions
01How does Nura show decision provenance?
Nura displays the source, reasoning, date, owner, and current status alongside the answer.
02Is decision provenance the same as an audit log?
They overlap, but provenance focuses on the decision's context and current meaning, while an audit log usually focuses on recording that an event occurred.
03Can Nura add provenance to historical decisions?
Nura can process approved historical sources, though records are usually more complete when captured close to the original decision.
04Who can correct a decision record?
An authorized administrator or appropriately permissioned user can review and correct the record.
