Provenance is an AI-native compliance and operations system being built for small and medium teams. It aims to map your obligations to controls and track the work done against them. It also aims to turn findings into closed-out actions and keep a verifiable record of it all. This is designed to help your team stay on top of compliance and audit-ready, without the manual scramble.
Why “Provenance”
In fine art and fine goods, provenance is the documented origin and chain of custody that proves something is what it claims to be. Provenance the software aims to apply the same idea to how a team runs. That means a verifiable record of your obligations, the work done against them, and the actions taken. AI is designed to do the heavy lifting underneath. A compliance and operations trail built to stand up to scrutiny, on demand.
What Provenance does
An AI-native system that aims to keep small and medium teams continuously compliant and always audit-ready, across four capabilities:
-
01 · Intelligence
AI compliance copilot
Designed to turn regulation, policy and obligations into a live, monitored framework, mapping obligations to controls and continuously surfacing gaps. Compliance becomes something the software aims to watch for you, not something you chase.
-
02 · Assurance
Continuous assurance
Built to keep you always audit-ready. That means a real-time view of your compliance posture across the team, with evidence ready on demand instead of reconstructed in a once-a-year scramble.
-
03 · Action
Closed-loop actions
Obligations, reviews and findings are designed to become owned, tracked actions with due dates that escalate and close, so issues get resolved, not just logged.
-
04 · Capability
Provable capability
Training tied to roles and obligations, with a verifiable record of who is qualified for what. It's designed to let you prove competence, not just completion, as the team grows.
How it works
The four capabilities are designed to run as one continuous loop, each pass keeping the record current and sharpening what to watch next:
-
01
Map
Aims to bring your obligations, policies and controls into one live framework.
-
02
Monitor
AI that aims to watch continuously and surface gaps and risks in real time.
-
03
Act
Aims to turn gaps and findings into owned, tracked actions that get closed out.
-
04
Prove
Aims to record every step in a verifiable, audit-ready trail, ready on demand.
Built for small and medium teams
Provenance is designed for small and medium teams that need real compliance and operational control, without enterprise complexity, long implementations or heavy overhead. It's being built to be practical and lightweight, around how growing teams actually work. That means one place to see obligations, activities, actions and training, and to know things are genuinely getting done.
