Description DataLineage Tracker is a traceability module for recording how data moves, transforms, and contributes to downstream models, reports, decisions, or outputs. In AI systems, lineage is essential because teams must understand which raw data created which feature, which dataset trained which model, and which model output supported which decision. Without lineage, debugging, audit, compliance, and reproducibility become difficult. This module provides structures for recording data source references, transformation steps, pipeline runs, dataset versions, feature dependencies, and output relationships. It can be used in data platforms, ML pipelines, forecasting systems, decision engines, and reporting systems. A typical workflow is to register an input dataset, record each transformation, attach version metadata, link outputs to downstream artifacts, and export lineage records for review. The module does not automatically discover every lineage relationship in an enterprise environment. It provides a framework and templates that need integration into actual pipelines. Users should define lineage granularity, retention rules, ownership, and audit requirements. When implemented consistently, it helps teams answer where data came from, what changed, who processed it, and why a model or report produced a particular result.
