Squad AI

Transparency & Audit

In regulated and high-stakes environments, knowing that an AI gave an answer is not enough: you need to know why it gave that answer, what data it used, and how it arrived at the conclusion. Squad is built for full traceability from question to answer.

Retrieval Provenance

Every answer Squad produces carries a chain of evidence back to its source material.

When AIM retrieves information from the knowledge graph, the response includes:

  • Source episodes: The specific document sections or conversation turns that contributed to the answer
  • Entity references: Which knowledge graph entities were consulted
  • Retrieval method: Whether the answer came from a direct graph lookup, a semantic search, a stored workflow, or an external source
  • Confidence indicators: How strongly the retrieved information matched the query

This means a user can always ask “where did this come from?” and trace the answer back to a specific paragraph in a specific document.

Workflow Data Lineage

When Squad executes a multi-step workflow, every step in the chain is recorded with its inputs, outputs, and the tool that produced them.

For a completed workflow run, you can inspect:

  • Step-by-step execution log: What each step did, in order
  • Input/output data: What data each step received and what it produced
  • Tool identification: Which tool was invoked at each step
  • Timing and status: How long each step took and whether it succeeded or required recovery

Each workflow execution is isolated with its own artifact space, ensuring that runs do not interfere with each other and that all intermediate artifacts are preserved for inspection.

Immutable Audit Trail

Every interaction with the platform generates an immutable, append-only audit record.

Audit RecordWhat It Captures
Correlation IDUnique identifier per execution, flows through all logs and events
User identityAuthenticated user who initiated the action
Session contextWhich session and conversation the action belongs to
Event streamReal-time SSE events with per-node granularity as AIM processes a query
Decision pointsClassification results, disambiguation choices, risk assessments

The audit trail is append-only by design: there is no mechanism to delete or modify historical records. This provides a tamper-evident log suitable for regulatory compliance and incident investigation.

Graph Exploration

Squad provides interactive tools for browsing the knowledge graph directly, allowing users and administrators to:

  • Explore entities, relationships, and episodes visually
  • Verify that ingested data was correctly extracted and linked
  • Inspect the provenance chain for any entity or fact
  • Understand the graph structure that underpins the platform’s answers
