Version Integrity Management

Integrity is assumed until it is challenged, at which point the organization needs to demonstrate that the document produced in evidence is the document that was approved rather than something altered afterwards. This is a different property from version history — history records a sequence, integrity attests that each entry is unmodified. It matters most in exactly the circumstances where records are most contested.

Centralpoint holds versions as immutable records with approval and identity attached rather than as files that can be overwritten in place, so producing a version produces its provenance with it. Where an AI answer cited a version, the citation resolves to that immutable record rather than to a current file whose state may since have changed.
