A record of how things get made
You helped build it.Get credit for it.
Nothing is built alone. Behind every project are the people who moved it — a suggestion at the right moment, a test, a year of building beside someone — and we think every contribution deserves credit. A Record is that credit: what you did, written by the person you helped, sealed permanently.
We're letting people in a few at a time, so the early ones actually meet each other. We'll be quick about it.
What a Record looks like
Maya O. worked with Ilse B. on Ledger
Maya tried the beta for an afternoon and asked the question we had stopped being able to hear: why do you need six pieces of information before you show anyone what the product actually does? She suggested asking for one and moving the rest behind the first screen. We shipped it that week. Sign-ups held, and the drop-off we had lived with for months halved.
How it works
- Step 01
Find something worth working on, or start your own
Browse projects in progress and offer feedback or try an early version. If you're making something yourself, post it and get feedback from people who actually want to help.

The person you helped writes it down
Not everything gets written down — only work that changes the thinking, the strategy, or the product itself. When yours does, the person you helped says what happened, in their own words, and you confirm it before it is sealed and becomes a Record. Neither of you can put it there alone.
How it happened · an example
Maya O. and Ilse B. talked the work through in a private conversation.
Awaiting confirmation
Ilse B. wrote up what Maya O. did and sent it to Maya O. to confirm. It is sealed as a Record once they confirm.
What was written

Where a record leads
Your record is what people here read before they work with you, and what you read before you work with them. It surfaces you to people building the same kinds of things, opens the communities worth being in, and turns your next contribution into something you get offered rather than something you chase. It travels outside Provenance too, if you want it to.

The top line is the Record above, seen from Ilse B.'s side — the same one sits on Maya O.'s. Maya O. appears twice, on two different projects: any single entry could be a favor between friends, but a record that keeps growing across projects and people is hard to fake. The filled diamond is Ilse B.'s own contribution to someone else's project — a record carries both sides of your work. And one entry reads Co-founding: that is where contributions can lead.
Who it's for
For contributors
Work on things worth your time. What lands on your page is written by the person you helped and confirmed by you. Not your claim, their account.
For builders
Post what you're building and ask for exactly the help you need. The people who move your work get named on it. Good people show up where credit is real.
