When a critical decision is challenged, prove exactly what it was based on.
Provenance Kernel turns a controlled corpus of documents into exact, source-linked evidence. Every result traces back to the original document and location, with a verifiable record of the evidence base used.
For risk, compliance, legal, internal audit and AI‑governance teams.
AI can provide an answer. It cannot carry your accountability.
In a regulated environment, a plausible answer is not enough. Your organisation may need to demonstrate what evidence was used, where it came from and whether it can still be verified.
What evidence was used?
Identify the exact source material supporting the decision.
Where did it come from?
Trace every passage to its original document and location.
Can it still be verified?
Preserve a record of the evidence base available when the decision was made.
Provenance Kernel is designed to answer all three.
From a controlled document corpus to defensible evidence.
Lock the evidence base
Select the documents approved for the decision. Provenance Kernel records and locks the corpus so the evidence base is clearly defined.
Ask the critical question
Ask a question in plain English across the controlled corpus without repeatedly uploading sensitive documents to an external service.
Produce a FactPack
Receive exact source sentences, document references, locations and verification information in a reviewable evidence pack.
Evidence your team can inspect—not an answer it has to trust blindly.
When someone asks “show me the evidence,” be ready.
Regulatory reviews
Retrieve and preserve the exact material supporting a regulated decision or submission.
AI-assisted decisions
Show which controlled information was available to the human decision-maker when AI was used.
Internal audit
Give audit teams a repeatable evidence trail linked directly to approved source documents.
Complaints and investigations
Review disputed decisions against the evidence that existed at the relevant time.
Policy and control reviews
Test decisions against current policies, procedures, contractual terms and governance documents.
Board and committee decisions
Create a clear evidence pack for decisions that may need to be revisited or defended later.
Built for the people responsible for the outcome.
Risk and compliance
Establish the evidence behind regulated decisions and control assessments.
Legal and investigations
Find exact source material without relying on generated summaries.
Internal audit
Review the same controlled evidence and reproduce the same results.
AI governance
Add an evidence layer between AI-assisted analysis and human accountability.
Senior management
Make important decisions with a clear, inspectable record of the material relied upon.
Financial services first. Applicable wherever decisions are regulated, sensitive or high consequence.
AI changes the process. Accountability remains.
The FCA’s existing rules emphasise senior-management accountability and remain relevant to the safe use of AI. Provenance Kernel helps organisations retain the exact evidence needed to review, govern and defend AI-assisted decisions.
Reference: FCA guidance on AI and the Senior Managers and Certification Regime.
Exact evidence. Controlled data. Repeatable results.
Evidence, not generated opinion
Results are grounded in explicit source material from the controlled corpus.
Private by design
Your documents remain within your organisation’s own environment.
Repeatable
The same question applied to the same locked corpus returns the same underlying evidence.
Fully traceable
Every passage links back to its original document and location.
Independently verifiable
Verification information helps identify whether the recorded evidence has been altered.
Efficient to reuse
Process the document corpus once and investigate it repeatedly without rebuilding the evidence base for every question.
Sensitive evidence should not have to leave your control.
Provenance Kernel is designed for organisations working with confidential, commercially sensitive and regulated documents.
Documents remain in your environment
The source corpus is clearly defined
Evidence remains linked to its origin
Verification detects subsequent alteration
Results can be reviewed by people outside the original decision process
Runs in your environment
See a critical question become a verifiable FactPack.
