About
The infrastructure layer for autonomous AI research.
Provena was founded by operators and researchers who have spent years building quality systems at scale. We believe the next generation of AI requires a fundamentally new data substrate — one that is standardized, agentic, and continuously learning.

Principles
How we think about data systems.
Signals over scores
Aggregate numbers hide the failure modes that matter. We measure dimensions, not impressions.
Feedback over heuristics
Every intervention must be measurable against downstream model performance.
Agents over workflows
Autonomous data systems will replace fragmented manual curation.
