Provenance: how your work was made

Oghmere coaches your writing without ever generating prose, so the manuscript stays yours. The Provenance tab on each document is the receipt. It answers two questions side by side: how the document was built, and what the AI did along the way. A project has its own Transparency report covering every document at once.

How this document was built

The first section is a timestamped account of the writing itself, drawn from what Oghmere recorded as it happened: when the work started and last changed, how it spread across sittings and days, how many times you came back to it, how much of the text was typed here, the largest single addition, and any imports, version restores or exports. Underneath it lists which Oghmere features touched the document and how often.

Export it as a text file with the Export report button. The file carries the same figures and the same limits, so it stands on its own when you forward it to an editor, a publisher or a competition judge.

What the AI did

The main view is a timeline of every coach interaction, newest first: when it happened, which coach, what kind of interaction it was, what the coach actually said, the passage it was looking at, any sources it cited, and what you did about it — addressed, dismissed, or deferred. Filter by coach, kind, or document, and load older entries as you go; your filters stay put if you reload. Above the timeline, a summary strip keeps the aggregate cost totals — credits used, tokens in and out, and agent calls — with a per-coach breakdown. A project has its own report, and each document has one in the second section of its Provenance tab.

If a project has AI activity from before this timeline existed, those earlier interactions are not itemized here — the page says so rather than pretending nothing happened, and new coaching from that point on is recorded in full.

What the interaction log includes — and omits

The log records every coach that read your work and told you something about it — a question, a measurement, or feedback — including the deterministic checkers like spelling, grammar, and readability that run no AI model at all. If a coach read your writing, it is in the log.

What we keep

When a coach responds to a selection, or the editor makes an editorial pass, we now keep a record of what the coach said — the feedback you saw and the passage it was about. This lives with the document: archive or delete the document and its coaching record goes with it, on the same 30-day timeline, and a permanent deletion removes it for good.

The disclosure statement

The report includes a ready-to-copy disclosure statement you can include when you publish, to disclose the AI assistance you used. Copy it with one click.

Download the interaction log

Below the report you can download the full interaction log — the chronological record of every coaching interaction — to hand to an editor or publisher. Choose Markdown (readable as text) or JSON (for a system to process), then download. You can leave out the manuscript passages if you would rather not include them. Whatever you choose, the file opens with a scope section stating exactly what it contains and how many entries were left out, so a recipient never has to guess; an unfiltered download says so plainly. The project page downloads the whole project; a document’s Provenance tab downloads just that document.

The integrity report

At the foot of the tab is a link to the integrity report — a printable, shareable summary of the document’s version history, its sources and its AI use. It opens on its own page so you can print it to PDF, and you can share it by link and revoke that link later.

What is recorded, and turning it off

The construction account is built from a private record of how you write — when you wrote, in what bursts, and how text arrived. It never contains the words themselves. It is on by default so the report has something to describe the first time you open it, it is private to you, and you can export or delete it whenever you like.

The controls live in Settings → Profile & Account → Writing activity. There you can switch recording off for your whole account, choose how long to keep the record, download it, or delete it outright. Below that, each project has its own switch, so you can keep recording off for a memoir, client work or anything private while the rest of your writing carries on as normal. New projects also offer the choice as you create them. There is no per-document switch: a half-recorded document would make the report misleading rather than useful.

Human-authored certification

Because the prose stays human-written, you can pursue “Human Authored” certification. Two schemes run today, and eligibility is theirs to decide — the project report links to both so you can submit your own work. In the United States the Authors Guild scheme is open to all US authors ($10 per title, free for Guild members) for US-published works. In the United Kingdom the Society of Authors scheme is free but members-only for now, for UK-published works; non-member access is planned, not yet live. Outside the US and UK there is no scheme yet. Oghmere is not a party to these schemes and does not certify, endorse, or vouch for your work; you assemble and submit your own evidence. Checked 2026-08-07.
