04 / SEE THE DATA RIGHTS

Know what the data allows.

Every observation includes a viewable licence record and usage status so teams can separate data that is ready to use from data that needs review.

WHAT IT MEANS

Licence information is recorded observation by observation because a single answer can combine sources with different permissions, restrictions and unresolved terms.

WHAT YOU GET: A clear view of which observations are ready, conditional or blocked.

Enforce the decision

Filter queries, agent tools, API responses and exports to the usage statuses accepted by your organisation.

CONNECTS: Workspace policy · MCP · REST · export rules
WHAT YOU GET: Data rights travel with the data instead of disappearing downstream.
