Does Provara see our prompts or customer data?
No. The SDK ships metadata: event type, timestamps, system identifiers, payload fingerprints and redaction statistics. What your AI said and what your customers said stays inside your systems. This is structural, not a policy: the payload your engineers send is the payload we seal.
We already have a governance platform. Why add Provara?
Keep it. Governance platforms document policies, inventories and attestations. Provara is the sealed system of record those attestations point to, the layer that turns “we assert” into “we can prove.” They get stronger together.
Can Provara record what AI agents do, not only what models say?
Yes. Tool calls, API requests, approvals, overrides and the resulting transaction references are sealed into the same chain as model decisions, so you can reconstruct an agent’s full path from recommendation to business outcome.
Can everything run in our country or our own cloud?
Yes. The Sovereign and Regulated plans run single-tenant in the region you choose, on major public clouds or inside your own VPC, with your encryption keys and retention policy.
Does Provara detect when our AI hallucinates?
Not by itself, and we won’t claim otherwise. Provara records and watches the quality scores your application computes (via a judge model, deterministic checks, or human review), seals them tamper-evidently and alerts when they drift from baseline. Provara is the flight recorder and the smoke alarm, not the pilot. If you don’t yet score answer quality, the optional Evaluate add-on can generate those scores for you.
How is this different from our logging stack?
Ordinary logs can be edited by admins or applications, which gives them weak evidentiary value. Provara records are append-only, cryptographically chained, and externally witnessed nightly into write-once storage. Alterations don’t get hidden; they get exposed.
What does an auditor actually receive?
A signed evidence packet (PDF or machine-readable) summarising sealed records per regulatory control, with the witness date and a signature verifiable against our published public key. No raw internals, no spreadsheet archaeology.
How long does deployment take?
One AI system is typically sealing events the same day: connect SSO, mint a write-only application key, add two lines of code. Evidence accrues from the first hour, and it can’t be backfilled later, which is why teams start before their audit, not during it.
What happens if Provara is unreachable?
Your AI keeps working. The SDK queues events locally and replays them losslessly when connectivity returns. For genuinely high-risk decision paths there’s a strict mode that refuses to proceed until the event is sealed; your lawyers may want exactly that.
