Problem
Finance teams are struggling to keep track of rapid, frequent updates to Excel financial models and PowerPoint presentations, making it difficult for senior leaders to review, audit, and explain changes to clients.
Solution
Provenance provides an AI‑powered system of record that automatically logs every edit made to Excel workbooks and PowerPoint decks. The native Excel add‑in highlights modifications in real time and generates side‑by‑side diff views that understand formula logic, dependencies, and slide content, reducing review time by up to 50%. Users must supply a human‑readable reason for each change, creating an auditable trail. Integrated accept/reject workflows operate within Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, and Outlook, enabling rapid, collaborative decision‑making. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES‑256) and the service is pursuing SOC 2 Type II compliance, ensuring enterprise‑grade security.

Primary customers are finance professionals in investment banking, private equity, corporate FP&A, and other corporate finance groups that rely on complex Excel models and presentation decks.
