Provenio

Provenio is a web + mobile AI-assisted provenance and due-diligence workspace for serious antique buyers, dealers, and estate teams. Users upload photos, invoices, catalog pages, export permits, and restoration notes; the app extracts entities (maker, period, materials, prior owners), builds a timeline, and flags gaps that commonly kill deals (missing export docs, inconsistent dates, suspicious restorations, mismatched marks). It also generates a “sale-ready” provenance packet (PDF + share link) with citations and confidence levels, plus a checklist aligned to major auction house expectations. Brutal truth: it won’t magically authenticate objects—many antiques simply lack paper trails. The value is reducing embarrassment and financial risk by organizing evidence, surfacing inconsistencies early, and making it easier to collaborate with specialists and insurers before money changes hands.
