##### Provenance – Traceable Alpha Signals

Provenance is a financial intelligence platform built on one conviction: every signal is only as trustworthy as the sentence behind it.

**Provenance Core** applies trained NLP classifiers to every SEC filing at the sentence level, tracks how each signal evolves across a company’s entire filing history, and links every output directly back to the exact regulatory language that generated it — with a live URL to the original document.

**Provenance Stream** extends that foundation across six independent data channels — SEC classifiers, 8-K item codes, insider transactions, credit spreads, category composites, and XBRL financials — all cooked through the same temporal framework. The intelligence comes from convergence: when multiple independent channels point at the same company simultaneously.

Rounding out the platform: Provenance Reports delivers source-linked signal reports formatted for analyst review and LLM training pipelines, and Provenance Connect provides a native MCP server for teams building AI-powered workflows.
