A source title is not enough
The knowledge-engineering service calls for a source vault and a cleaned knowledge engine, not a loose archive. A document needs context: what it supports, who owns it, whether it is approved, what is missing, and when it should be reviewed.
Without that status, retrieval and reuse become acts of assumption. An old proposal, an early draft, and an approved service definition may look equally credible to a reader or an AI assistant.
Use status as an operating signal
A lightweight status such as approved, needs review, superseded, internal-only, or incomplete makes important knowledge safer to use. It also helps a team decide which material can support public content, sales language, or an automated workflow.
The status is most useful when paired with a named owner and a short note about the decision it supports. That is enough governance for many first systems.
Review before you reuse
When a source is used for a public page, a client handoff, or an AI task, check that its status matches the use. A source with uncertainty should lead to a review request or a qualified response, not a confident assertion.
This is how source visibility becomes a real operating capability rather than a documentation exercise.
