# Proof of Record

**Proof of Record™** helps you track the origin of your data. For every data point, you can see:

* **Who** extracted it (name or email)
* **When** it was extracted (timestamp)
* **Where** it came from (URL)
* **What** it looked like (screenshot of the page)

Every captured record is accompanied by metadata, including the extractor’s name or email, a timestamp, the source URL, and a screenshot of the page at the moment of extraction.

This feature is especially valuable where **data reliability**, **transparency**, and **auditability** are non-negotiable.

## Why does it matter?

### Transparency and traceability

In an era of AI-generated content and automated scraping, trust in data is everything. With **Proof of Record™**, every piece of information can be **traced back to its origin**. This creates a **source lineage** that empowers you to:

* Validate the authenticity of your datasets
* Ensure data consistency across teams and tools
* Build trust with stakeholders, clients, and auditors

### Trust and accountability

Data errors are inevitable, but ambiguity doesn’t have to be.

Proof of Record™ provides your team with the accountability framework it needs to identify the root cause of inconsistencies or anomalies. Whether it's internal QA, external audits, or cross-functional handoffs, you’ll always know **what happened, when, and by whom**.

### Operational efficiency and troubleshooting

Instead of wasting time verifying the source of a data point or tracking down errors manually, you get everything you need to investigate, validate, and resolve issues at a glance.

No guesswork. No redundant meetings. Just clarity.
