 Create a QuantumProvenanceGraph, which details the status of every quantum
 and dataset over multiple attempts at executing graphs, noting when quanta
 have been recovered.
+
+Step through all the quantum graphs associated with certain tasks or
+processing steps. For each graph/attempt, the status of each quantum and
+dataset is recorded in `QuantumProvenanceGraph.add_new_graph` and outcomes
+of quanta over multiple runs are resolved in
+`QuantumProvenanceGraph.resolve_duplicates`. At the end of this process,
+we can combine all attempts into a summary. This serves to answer the
+question "What happened to this data ID?" in a wholistic sense.
