Abstract:LLM-curated tables can appear source-grounded while containing unsupported rows: the curator may recall entries from parametric memory and retroactively attach page-level citations that are not the actual source. We study this hazard in Seed2Frontier discovery: the task of finding complement Wikipedia pages from a seed page to assemble a structured table. Stage-Audit addresses it with disjoint curator-auditor write rights, a row-level source-citation gate, and a 12-check audit taxonomy over keys, schema, source roles, cardinality, and scope. On a curated 51-instance Seed2Frontier evaluation set spanning 15 top-level domains, Stage-Audit improves source-frontier precision over a vanilla LLM curator from 0.356 to 0.505 (+42% relative) and F1 from 0.334 to 0.451 (+35%), while maintaining explicit per-row source traceability. The vanilla-LLM-vs-Stage-Audit comparison isolates the policy contribution rather than LLM-based discovery in general.
