Provenance: from “provenir”, meaning to come from or originate; a record of a valued item's origin and history that is used to evaluate its authenticity, quality and integrity.
Good advice is measured by its value to a client, not the advisor. Provenance is a process used to ensure that key decisions are based upon information known to be trustworthy and reliable. Like “proven," provenance refers to information and advice that has been carefully vetted to ensure it is genuine, true and worthy of reliance. Our goal is to provide sound, practical and effective counsel to help you to set and achieve your goals.
Every work of art has its own provenance– an unique history that define its value, quality and character. In the same way, each client's life experiences help to define his or her character and goals.
Understanding a work's provenance is crucial to appreciating its value. A good provenance can increase a work’s value and help to resolve disputes.
Provenance is also used in the culinary arts to ensure that food and wines come from a known source, and are produced using practices that promote safety, sustainability and fair trade.
Provenance in data science ensures that information comes from a trusted source, and can be relied upon to provide secure, confidential and reproducible results. Blockchain applications use provenance to create a secure record of a valued commodity or currency's history, ownership and current status to authenticate transactions.
