A small provenance record for AI market summaries

A market-summary interface can display a fluent paragraph while hiding when the underlying information was published. For an AI research product, provenance should travel with the summary rather than live in a separate browser tab.

Keep three timestamps separate

A source publication time, a retrieval time and a summary-generation time answer different questions. A newly generated summary may still describe an old announcement. Preserve the source URL and the original publication time, including its timezone when available. Leave missing values unknown rather than guessing.

A compact record

This illustrative JSON shape is a documentation example, not an integration with an exchange or a live data feed:

{
  "source_url": "<original-public-source>",
  "source_published_at": null,
  "retrieved_at": "<ISO-8601-time-with-offset>",
  "summary_generated_at": "<ISO-8601-time-with-offset>",
  "claim_kind": "reported_fact",
  "verification_status": "needs_review"
}

Treat claim_kind as an explicit distinction between a reported fact, an interpretation and a scenario. A model output should not silently promote one category into another. Keep source excerpts separate from model wording so a reviewer can compare them.

Make uncertainty visible

If a source has no publication time, show that limitation. If two sources disagree, retain both citations and ask for review. A refresh button should update the retrieval time without rewriting the original source date.

This matters when someone searches for today indian market prediction research: the word “today” expresses a freshness requirement, not proof that every result is current. StockTool describes AI stock insights, watchlists and update summaries; verify current capabilities on its website.

A useful review asks whether a reader can find the original source, distinguish interpretation from fact and notice missing timestamps. It does not assume that a fluent summary is an accurate forecast.
