+# claimprov
+
+Claim-level provenance and epistemic status for multi-agent systems. A small extension of W3C PROV-O, SHACL shapes that enforce it, and (coming) middleware and an MCP server that apply it between agents.
+
+**Status: pre-release.** The data model, ontology and shapes are in and tested. Storage/retrieval middleware, the worked configurations, and the MCP server are in progress. APIs will change before v0.1.0.
+
+## Why this exists
+
+AI agents now write interpretations into enterprise records: a churn score into a CRM field, a supplier classification into a procurement table, a lead-time estimate into a planning store. Another agent later retrieves the value and acts on it. Between those two steps something happens to the value's standing. The producing agent may have marked it *provisional*; the consuming agent treats it as *fact*. No one mislabeled anything. The qualification simply did not travel with the value.
+
+claimprov is built around that observation. It distinguishes a claim's **declared** epistemic status (what the producer attached) from its **enacted** status (how a consumer actually used it), and it records both, so that the gap between production and reuse can be measured rather than assumed away.
+
+It is the companion implementation of a working paper in information systems research. The paper supplies the theory; this library is the part that can be run. [docs/concepts.md](docs/concepts.md) has the full argument, the design decisions it forces, and what the code does and does not claim.
+
+## What it does
+
+- **Claims as the unit of governance.** Every proposition an agent puts into circulation is a `cp:Claim` with its own status, attribution, lineage, evidence and verifications: a representation at the grain at which agents actually reason, alongside asset-level governance (certified tables, semantic views).
+- **A status lattice with teeth.** `asserted` = `derived` (rank 0) < `tool-verified` (1) < `human-verified` (2). Derivation adds lineage, not warrant; only a deterministic tool or a person can raise a claim's rank. SHACL shapes enforce the minimum evidence each status requires and reject *status laundering*: a claim declaring a higher rank than its sources without a verification of its own.
+- **Retrieval as a provenance event.** `cp:Retrieval` records which agent took which claim and what status it *enacted*. Enacting a higher status than was declared produces a SHACL *warning*, not a violation. That warning is the declared/enacted gap, measured.
+
+## Status lattice
+
+| status | trust rank | requires |
+|---|---|---|
+| `asserted` | 0 | attribution to an agent |
+| `derived` | 0 | at least one source claim via `prov:wasDerivedFrom` |
+| `tool-verified` | 1 | a passed `cp:Verification` by a `cp:Tool` (or person) citing evidence |
+| `human-verified` | 2 | a passed `cp:Verification` by a `prov:Person` citing evidence |
+
+## Quickstart
+

+
+## Roadmap to v0.1.0
+
+- `cp:Asset`, so that claims can be placed inside the assets they are written to.
+- Storage and retrieval middleware for LangGraph-style agent chains.
+- Worked configurations as runnable scripts.
+- MCP server: `record_claim`, `get_claim_status`, `check_retrieval`.

+## Roadmap to v0.1.0
+
+- `cp:Asset`, so that claims can be placed inside the assets they are written to.
+- Storage and retrieval middleware for LangGraph-style agent chains.
+- Worked configurations as runnable scripts.
+- MCP server: `record_claim`, `get_claim_status`, `check_retrieval`.
+
+## Scope
+
+This is a reference implementation of a theoretical distinction, not a detection product and not an empirical finding about any platform or organization. It uses no proprietary data and makes no claim about any vendor's behavior.
