Question 1

What is Provenance?

Accepted Answer

Provenance is AI-Native infrastructure for financial models. It automatically captures every change made to your Excel models, generates intelligent diffs that understand formulas and dependencies, and requires human-readable explanations for every modification. Think of it as Git for spreadsheets, but built specifically for the complexity of financial modeling.

Question 2

How does Provenance work with Excel?

Accepted Answer

Provenance installs as a native Excel add-in that runs seamlessly in the background. You work in Excel exactly as you always have, with no new tools to learn or workflows to change. The add-in automatically tracks changes, detects when formulas are modified, and prompts for explanations only when meaningful changes occur.

Question 3

Is my financial model data secure with Provenance?

Accepted Answer

Provenance is pursuing SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification with Vanta support. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role controlled, and organization and project boundaries are enforced throughout the application.

Question 4

Can I try Provenance before committing?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We offer a pilot program where you can test Provenance with your actual financial models in a controlled environment. The pilot includes full support from our team, custom integration assistance, and detailed feedback sessions to ensure it meets your specific needs.
