# Human inspectability

Human inspectability means a person can diff two versions, inspect lineage, and trace each fact to its source. Trust comes from verification, not hidden model behavior.

## Before vs after

Before: a value changes and operators only see "current state." After: operators can inspect field-level diffs and provenance to validate or correct the update.

\# Inspect snapshot lineage
neotoma entities get <entity\_id>
neotoma observations list --entity-id <entity\_id>

Inspectability depends on [versioned history](/versioned-history), [auditable change log](/auditable-change-log), and [replayable timeline](/replayable-timeline).
