Governance & Human Oversight
ActiveQuark Lens
Making the traceability record navigable.
A traceability record that cannot be inspected without writing code is not a governance tool — it is a data dump. Quark Lens closes that gap.
What it is
Quark Lens is a local web dashboard that connects to a Quark Trace backend and renders experiment runs, FactSheets, and artifact lineage as a structured, filterable registry.
It requires no configuration beyond pointing it at an existing Quark Trace data directory.
Why it exists
Quark Trace ensures the record exists. Quark Lens ensures the record can be read by people who are not writing Python.
Accountability requires legibility. A FactSheet in a JSON file is a fact. A FactSheet in a browsable interface is evidence.
Goals
- 01
Ship a working dashboard that reads any Quark Trace JsonBackend without configuration.
- 02
Support filtering by project, parameter value, and artifact hash.
- 03
Provide an exportable summary view suitable for audit documentation.

Initial design: mapping the minimum viable registry interface against Quark Trace FactSheet schema.
