What would make an AI provenance report trustworthy?
I think most AI governance conversations stop too early.
Teams talk about dashboards, usage charts, and prompt capture. Those are useful, but they are not the same thing as a trustworthy record.
The harder problem is this: if someone asks you six months later whether a block of code was AI-generated, can you prove the record still means what it said when it was created?
That is why we added two things in LineageLens: a provenance hash chain and a signed AI BOM export.
Build your brand before your product, or launch first and reveal yourself later?
I've always been on the personal brand side. More and more founders are building it now (sometimes even before the product is ready while it's still in development, before seed fundraising). The CEO builds their position so the product sells more easily at the official launch.
But I have experience with people who built the product, scaled it, and only then did we discover who was behind it.
Honestly, with the first approach, I'd be concerned that people invest more in me as a person than in the product. People would idealise the founder and overlook the product's flaws (which could hurt development and constructive feedback).
+ I noticed the most common mistake that many people who started building a personal brand first, connected their product to their personal accounts (emails, social media, etc.) and started having a problem selling these things, because they cannot "give someone keys" to their personal profiles.
