## What ProvenLabs Does

ProvenLabs is a human-led research and development partner for service
businesses. We help owners understand where AI naturally fits, educate the
people affected by the change, and run bounded experiments before a company
commits to a broad implementation.

The business is not positioned as a custom development shop or a catalogue of
AI products. Software may be one result of an experiment, but the relationship
begins with the owner's priorities, the way work happens today, and the human
judgment the business needs to protect.

Core principles:

- Humans choose the initial business question.
- Humans define what good looks like.
- Humans retain final approval over taste, risk, and customer experience.
- AI should augment people rather than erase accountability.
- Education comes before implementation.
- Useful adoption is earned through evidence.
- A responsible recommendation may be to leave a process alone.
- Every engagement should build the client's internal capability.

## Proven Fit Audit

The Proven Fit Audit identifies where AI fits, where it does not, and what a
service business should test first. It considers the desired business outcome,
the current workflow, recurring friction, human judgment, readiness, risk,
reversibility, effort, adoption difficulty, and measurability.

Self-serve audit:

- Price: $79 one time
- Status: early access while the complete scoring system is developed
- Intended output: structured assessment, opportunity inventory, human-judgment
  boundaries, prioritization matrix, and a 90-day roadmap template

Guided audit:

- Price: $790 one time
- Guided discovery with Will Scrivener
- Custom opportunity report
- Recommended first experiments
- Dedicated debrief session

If the client begins an R&D Lab engagement within 30 days, the audit fee is
credited toward the first month's cost.

## Private AI Roundtable

A business owner hosts three to five owners from their network for a private
dinner. ProvenLabs covers the dinner, subject to location, scheduling, and a
reasonable budget. Will Scrivener facilitates the discussion.

Trust rules:

- No sales presentation
- No recording
- No obligation
- No marketing to guests afterward without permission
- The host chooses the guest list

The purpose is to give owners a candid place to compare what is working, what
is failing, and what everyone is still trying to understand about AI.

## AI Education and Workshops

ProvenLabs provides practical education for owners, executives, and teams.
Workshops create a shared language, connect AI to the team's real workflows,
surface concerns, and identify practical next steps without forcing adoption.

Sessions are led by Will Scrivener and shaped around the audience's actual
experience level and business context.

## R&D Lab

The R&D Lab is an outsourced research and development extension of the client's
leadership team.

Pricing:

- $7,500 per month
- $3,500 one-time onboarding and setup fee in month one
- Qualifying audit fee credited toward the first month when the client begins
  within 30 days

Monthly capacity:

- One large experiment spanning multiple workflows or stakeholders
- Two focused medium experiments
- Three narrow tests designed to produce evidence quickly

Every month also includes Will joining one weekly executive meeting and a
dedicated handoff meeting for each experiment.

An experiment is a bounded effort designed to answer a business question. It is
not a promise to deliver a complete production application. An experiment ends
with a decision to stop, revise, expand, operationalize, or separately scope a
larger implementation.

The intended relationship lasts six to twelve months. The goal is to build the
client's understanding and internal capability so work beyond that period is a
matter of convenience and outside perspective rather than dependency.
