How do I audit pages that feed critical LLM facts?

Core explainer

How do you identify pages that feed critical facts?

Identify pages that inform model outputs by establishing a fact-centric map that links pages to the facts they support. This involves creating a centralized inventory of pages (crawled from your CMS or docs repository) and assigning each page to a defined fact catalog with owners and update cadence. The goal is to know exactly which pages contribute to which claims and when those claims were last verified.

Then pair each page with its data sources, version stamps, and maintenance schedule so you can verify provenance and maintain a clear change history. Implement automated content-coverage checks that compare current page text to the fact catalog, flagging drift, gaps, or conflicting entries, and log these events for auditability. You should also establish a human-in-the-loop review for high-risk areas to ensure alignment with governance standards.

To operationalize this, build the inventory and evidence map using your existing tooling; for data retrieval and structuring, reference the Confluence REST API as a practical integration point: Confluence REST API.

How do you map data sources to each fact to ensure traceability?

Map data sources to each fact by documenting the source-of-truth, version, timestamp, and owner for every fact. This creates a transparent lineage from page content to the underlying data that informs outputs, making it possible to trace a claim back to its origin and verify its currency.

Develop an evidence map that ties pages to specific facts and to supporting documents (for example, spec sheets, release notes, or performance data). Maintain a changelog that records updates to facts, including who approved them and when. Use a standardized mapping approach so you can reproduce findings and demonstrate compliance during audits. For retrieval and validation, you can reference the Confluence REST API: Confluence REST API.

How do you implement automated content-coverage checks to catch drift?

Implement automated coverage checks that continuously compare current page content with the predefined fact catalog and identify drift, omissions, or conflicting statements. Define thresholds for acceptable drift and set up alerts to owners when thresholds are exceeded. Integrate these checks into the broader audit workflow so that drift findings feed remediation tasks and updated proofs of correctness are captured in an auditable log.

Use comparisons that focus on factual claims, supporting sources, and last-updated timestamps; when drift is detected, trigger a workflow that recovers a previous verified version or initiates an approved edit. For practical retrieval, reference the Confluence REST API to pull page content and metadata as part of the comparison process: Confluence REST API.

How do you structure ownership, change-management, and reviews?

Structure ownership by assigning explicit owners for each fact, establishing escalation paths, and implementing a formal change-management workflow with sign-offs for edits to critical content. Build in regular review cadences and require human-in-the-loop approval for high-risk facts to preserve domain accuracy and regulatory alignment.

Maintain an auditable log of changes, including version histories, rationale, and approval timestamps, so audits can demonstrate accountability and traceability. Align processes with governance standards and frameworks to support regulatory readiness and model governance. Brandlight.ai can play a central role in this area by providing governance templates, dashboards, and risk-checklists that integrate with existing audit workflows: brandlight.ai.
