Trust & Transparency for Supply Chains and Commerce
OVERVIEW
Verify and Share Supply Chain Data with Confidence
The Provenance Chain™ Network (PCN) is a commercial trust infrastructure layer that enables organizations to share and verify data related to parts, suppliers, credentials, and processes using traceable evidence.
Buyers get faster, audit-ready verification of parts, suppliers, and compliance. Suppliers prove they meet requirements once, then securely reuse that proof across customers and programs without centralizing sensitive information or giving up control of their intellectual property.
THE TRUST PROBLEM IN SUPPLY CHAINS
Commercial Decisions Depend on Data that is Hard to Verify
Organizations must make critical decisions based on information provided by external partners — suppliers, parts manufacturers, logistics providers, and workforce personnel. But the data behind those decisions is often difficult to verify and difficult to control once shared.
This creates a persistent problem across supply chains:
Buyers and program owners need proof that requirements are met
Suppliers must protect sensitive data and intellectual property
Compliance teams verify everything manually
Decisions are delayed or made with incomplete information
This is not just inefficient—it increases operational, compliance, and security risk across the supply chain.
THE TRUST FLYWHEEL™
From Requirements to Verified Credentials
PCN enables organizations to define requirements, share evidence, and verify claims across partners—without forcing a single system or centralizing data.
Each verified credential makes the next evaluation faster, cheaper, and more reliable-compounding trust and unlocking greater speed, risk reduction, and capacity utilization.
01
Define Requirements
Organizations define the requirements that must be met for approval and organize them in a requirement set library.
02
Submit Evidence
Suppliers submit evidence to demonstrate they meet those requirements.
03
Evaluate
Claims are evaluated against requirements using AI-assisted analysis, with human oversight, traceable proof, and full audit trails.
04
Credential
Suppliers, parts, or personnel receive verified status or certifications once requirements are met—issued as reusable credentials.
05
Reuse (Clear)
Once issued, credentials can be securely reused across customers and programs—making future evaluations faster, lower cost, and more consistent.
SOLUTIONS SNAPSHOT
PCN Replaces Fragmented Data with Verifiable Evidence—at Scale
Most supply chain systems are built for one organization. PCN is built for multi-party supply chain ecosystems.

PCN IN ACTION
Practical Applications for the PCN Platform
From Manual Review Cycles to 30-Minute Verification
Hardware verification demonstration for a U.S. Space Force program reduced from four days to 30 minutes with full compliance validation. By linking requirements, claims, and evidence in a governed exchange model, PCN enabled Space Force to compress verification timelines, reduce labor, and produce fully traceable, audit-ready results.
Outcomes:
-
Reduced verification from 4 days to 30 minutes
-
Achieved 100% compliance before launch
Trusted Data Across the Semiconductor Supply Chain
PCN replaces siloed, document-based processes with a shared system of evidence—linking device data, lifecycle history, and workforce credentials across organizations. Suppliers share only what is required, under their control, without exposing sensitive data or intellectual property.
Outcomes:
-
Reduced rework and costs
-
Accelerated qualification process
-
Expanded supply base
