Stop reviewing
financial models
cell by cell.

Review models in 15 minutes instead of two hours. Provenance is version control for your Excel models: every version saved, every change explained with its impact, and every number linked to its source.

Backed by the best

Provenance turns model review from hours of cell-by-cell checking into a five-minute review of only what matters. Every version in one place, every change checked, and a review of only the short list that needs a decision.

The product

From first edit to final sign-off.

The Provenance task pane open beside a DCF model in Excel, listing three changed assumptions with their before and after values, ready to version up — 01 / 03

01 Capture

Every meaningful change, recorded.

Provenance lives inside Excel and PowerPoint. Each version keeps the author, the reason, and the exact state of the file.

02 Understand

See what moved, and what it moved.

The redline traces a changed driver through valuation, cash flow, and every output it touches.

A Provenance model comparison across versions 2 and 3 of a DCF: a written summary of what moved, a key values table showing implied value per share falling to $442.02 and the discount to market widening to -18.9%, before-and-after grids with the changed assumptions highlighted, and a changes rail listing every edit

03 Compare

Sign off change by change.

Base and current sit side by side with every changed assumption called out.

A Provenance review of a DCF model carrying 286 changes, with a written summary of the effect on the investment case, before and current spreadsheets side by side, a changes rail grouping the edits by driver with a suggest-a-new-value action on each, and an approve-review action in the header

The attribution engine

Where a number came from is not a guess.

We make every cell traceable, and every source traces back, down to the page. When a match does not line up, the engine tells you instead of guessing.

The reconciliation is arithmetic, not judgement. Whether a figure agrees with the document behind it is settled by rule, before anyone asks the AI anything, so the disagreement is already on the screen rather than waiting to be noticed.

02Every cell is mappedCapex, margins, add-ons — each value traces to the file it came from.
03The data room is read into figuresFiles upload once; every number becomes a row that keeps its page.
04The mismatch is caught before you askReconciliation runs on upload, not on request, so a figure that disagrees is already flagged when you open the model.

A cell selected in a Provenance model with its evidence receipt open alongside: the value's history across three saved versions, the data room comparison showing the model's enterprise value of $194,053.12M against the $231,941M quoted in the source memo, the memo named and quoted underneath, and a running count of which inputs are sourced and which are still unresolved

The attribution flow, captured from the product.

Checked against the document, not a memory of it.

The engine reads the data room into figures, then holds each one against the line it came from. Open a number and the source opens with it, at the page and the sentence that carries it.

A source document open in Provenance, a quarterly shareholder letter, with the average daily rate of $178.28 outlined in the body text and labelled, showing the figure found at the line it appears on rather than the file it sits in

The changes rail of a model review listing 84 changes, each carrying its own verdict: net cash, revenue growth and EBITDA margin each marked as matching a named source file from the data room, with a link through to it and an action to suggest a different value

Every change carries its own verdict and the file that settles it.

Excel add-in

The record starts in the workbook.

Provenance sits beside the model. It flags what looks wrong, shows exactly what changed since the last version, and saves that version with the reason attached — without leaving Excel.

Decks and CIMs

The deck gets the same scrutiny as the model.

Numbers leave the building in a deck, not in a workbook, and the deck is rebuilt far more often than the model behind it. Provenance versions PowerPoint the same way it versions Excel.

A Provenance deck review comparing versions 2 and 3 of a diligence pack: a written summary of what moved, a key values table showing net debt down $1,720m and the cash tax rate up 4.5 points, the before and after slide side by side with the changed block outlined, and a changes rail that flags two figures as no longer matching the data room document behind them

Compare any two versions

Text, numbers, formatting, and the data behind every chart. See exactly what moved between the draft that went out on Tuesday and the one sitting in front of the committee.

Comments stay with the slide

Every thread, edit, and resolution is kept against the slide it belongs to, so a reviewer’s mark-up survives the next rebuild instead of dying in an email chain.

Every figure checked against the data room

Each number on a slide is verified against the source documents behind it. A figure that no longer matches what the data room says is flagged before the deck leaves the building.

The Assistant

Ask the deal. Get the evidence.

Ask with the frontier model of your choice: GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5.5, Grok 4.6, and Gemini 3.8 Flash, each grounded in your models, documents, and deal history. Every answer links back to the exact version it came from.

The Provenance Assistant asked to check a deal's PowerPoint against its sources: the answer names the one figure on slide 4 that disagrees with the data room, links each claim to the slide and the source file it came from, and the model picker is open showing the frontier models an answer can be run on

A citation opened inside an Assistant answer: the source spreadsheet rendered in place, zoomed to row 2 of the operating KPIs file, with the cell holding 512.4 outlined and marked as an exact match

Every figure cites the cell it came from.

Not a document name, not a page guess. Open any number in an answer and the source file opens with it, scrolled to the exact cell and marked as an exact match. The citation is resolved by rule, so the same question returns the same cell every time.

Provenance makes every financial decision searchable, traceable, and reviewable.

Find the number, open the document behind it, see who signed off.

What it costs today

The time already
goes somewhere.

Nobody budgets for chasing versions and tying out figures, but it is paid for every week. Here is what that looks like on a mid-sized team.

3,456

Hours a year

A twelve-person deal team, finding the right version, checking what changed, and working out where a number came from.

$327k

Cost of that time

What those hours cost at a fully loaded $250,000 a head, on the long weeks deal teams actually work.

5.4

Hours back, per person, weekly

At a tenfold reduction on the work this measures. Move that assumption yourself and the number moves with it.

Work out your own

Arithmetic on typical inputs, not a measured result from a customer.

Security

Built for the most sensitive files a firm has.

Encrypted in transit and at rest, least-privilege access with organization and project isolation, and a tamper-evident trail of every change and review decision.
