Trust increases when a record can show that it changed, when it changed, and where someone should look to understand the change.

## The practical check

Ask what history matters, which changes need evidence, and how a reviewer can notice a missing or altered step.

## Where AI fits

AI can trace the expected change chain and flag missing, inconsistent, or unsupported links for a reviewer to inspect.

## The human decision

People decide what evidence is sufficient and investigate any unexpected change.

## The lesson

If a record matters, its change history should make it possible to see what changed, find the supporting evidence, and investigate a missing link.

The Build Log companion identifies change-chain gaps and unsupported links for review.
