In many data systems, governance depends on reconstructing execution after it completes. Lineage is derived from logs, execution order inferred from orchestration metadata, and historical results reproduced by replaying pipelines.
This reconstruction introduces ambiguity. Logs rarely capture full dependency context, orchestration changes over time, and replay can diverge from original conditions. Auditability becomes an interpretive exercise rather than a structural guarantee.
Tabsdata derives governance directly from execution semantics.
Execution plans are computed deterministically before runtime. Dependencies, dataset versions, and ordering are resolved explicitly. Each successful execution transitions the system atomically from one versioned data state to the next.
Lineage is materialized as part of execution. Historical state is preserved, not replayed. The exact inputs, transformations, and dataset versions that produced a result remain queryable over time.
Because state transitions are explicit and immutable, governance does not require reconstruction. Integrity and auditability follow directly from how the system executes.
