Decision assurance for regulated firms

Everyone shows the source.
We show you who may sign it.

AI can prepare a quarter's work in minutes. Signing it still means showing the rule that applied, the evidence it rested on and the authority behind it. Provenact runs that work inside your own approved rules — and the proof falls out of doing it.

02 — What it does first

Give Provenact the draft and the approved sources it was meant to rest on. Every claim comes back carried by an exact source span, unsupported, or stale — with a prepared correction and the name of whoever is permitted to approve it.

The Fund returned 8.4% over the quarter, ahead of its benchmark. Our overweight position in UK mid-caps drove the majority of this outperformance, and we expect this to continue into the coming year. Covenant exposure remains within the limits set out in the mandate. The valuation of the unlisted holding was confirmed by an independent third party in March.

One governed chain

03 — How it works

Provenact is not a checker bolted on to somebody else's tool. It takes your controlled documents, turns them into rules your people review and put in force, then runs the workflow against them — and every stage leaves its evidence behind it.

01ConnectControlled source intake. Origin, version and permitted evidence — with honest empty states.
02ReviewSource-linked rules and distinct human decisions. Correction and undo. Nothing self-activates.
03AuthoriseThe authorisation set, the allowed and forbidden AI boundary, and a named-human gate.
04OperateProvenact does the work to an outcome-led plan with a budget and stopping conditions. It prepares. It does not send.
05VerifyReconstructs the persisted chain: receipt identity, matched lineage, explicit not-covered states.

The model may interpret, propose and prepare. It may not invent facts, legal force, status, authority or execution.

If the screen can compute the answer, the answer is decoration.

Citations are table stakes. Authority is not.

04 — Why us

A citation tells you where a sentence came from. It does not tell you whether this person may sign it. Those are different questions, and only one of them is widely answered. Three things have to travel with the work.

The rule

Your approved rules, versioned

Reviewed by your people, put in force in a named ceremony, and anchored to the exact span of the document each one came from.

The authority

Who may approve, and under what mandate

The approval matrix and the delegation become a versioned object you own and edit — not configuration inside our product, and not a step in a workflow.

The proof

A record a later reviewer can reconstruct

What was decided, on what evidence, by whom — and, stated plainly, what was not covered. The step that checks the work is not the step that produced it.

The first of those is now common. The second we could not find answered in any published material we were able to reach. Several products route work to a reviewer; we could find none that treats delegated authority as data the institution owns and versions.

05 — The next conversation

One recurring decision. One working session.

Bring one decision your firm makes over and over, the controlled procedure behind it, your approval matrix, and two or three real cases — including one exception. Redacted is fine. That is enough to establish whether this is worth a serious pilot, and enough to measure what the work costs you today.

P. Every act, proven

Know what applies. Know who may act. Keep the evidence.
