AI database access needs 'completeness contract' for verifiable results

AI database access requires a "completeness contract" to ensure that results are not only numerically correct but also fully representative. This contract should define the expected data population, including sources, entities, regions, and metric versions. Crucially, the system must return evidence alongside the results, detailing aspects like observed sources, row counts, and any missing or incomplete data. The AI should explain why a result might be partial but should not unilaterally decide if the missing data is acceptable or present a partial result as complete. AI
