`after` on an AuditLog is a JSON object capturing the full state of the record immediately after the change was applied.

after on an AuditLog shows the result of a change — what the record looks like now (at the time of this AuditLog entry). Comparing after to before reveals exactly which fields changed and what values they were updated to. This is the definitive record for data validation audits: if a regulatory agency questions whether an analytical result was modified after import, after on the corresponding AuditLog entry shows the values that were set and by whom (via userId).
