# Audit Trail

An audit trail is a chronological record of an AI system’s inputs, actions, outputs, approvals, and changes.

## Why it matters

Teams need to reconstruct what the system saw, decided, attempted, changed, and escalated. A useful audit trail records timestamps, actor identity, source references, tool inputs and outputs, approvals, and final state while respecting privacy and retention rules.

## Example

When an AI updates a sales forecast, the activity record links the source opportunities, generated calculation, employee approval, and exact CRM fields changed.
