01 Our story

We run the systems we sell.

Proven By Data is an AI consultancy for companies from $5M in revenue. We find the work a machine should be doing, prove it pays on your own numbers, then build it. The first company we did it in was our own.

Operators, not researchers

We are not a lab and we do not publish papers. We are operators who got tired of watching capable companies lose their week to work a machine should have done. That is the whole business: find that work, prove a machine can do it on your numbers, then build the thing.

The first company we did it in was our own. Only Big Jobs still runs on this stack, which means the systems we sell are the systems we depend on to get our own work out the door. When something breaks, it breaks for us first.

Where our systems run

Construction, home services, financial services, solar and early-stage software. Every one of them sits inside a company doing $5M or more, where a wrong number costs a real job and there is no committee to absorb the mistake. That constraint set the standard we build to, and we have not relaxed it since.

In production across Ireland, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and South Africa. We take on a deliberate number of clients so that a founder stays on every account.

What we are actually good at

Keeping the model away from the arithmetic. It reads, retrieves and routes. Anything with a right answer gets computed, not generated. The reliability lives in the structure around the model, in the retrieval, the approval gates and the measurement.

That is why our systems keep working when the models underneath them change. A system that depends on a particular model being clever is a system with a expiry date on it. A system where the model only handles language, and the numbers are computed, does not.

Why we prove it first

Before you pay to build anything, we agree a number, then test the claim against your own data. You see the working. If it does not hold up, we tell you, and you have spent half an hour and a data export.

This is deliberately uncomfortable for us. It moves the risk to our side of the table and it filters the work, because we can only take on businesses where the numbers actually support a build. Plenty of these conversations end with us saying the problem is not worth automating yet. That is a useful answer too.

Who you get

A founder on the call

Not a sales rep, and not an account manager who has to check and come back to you.

A founder on the account

We add people as the work demands it, but a founder stays on your engagement from the first call to production.

The working, shown

Every number we quote comes from your data, and you see how it was arrived at before you decide anything.

What we do

Each of these is already carrying revenue inside a mid-sized company that answers for the number every month. None of them is a chatbot bolted onto a website.

Start with the number, not the pitch.

Half an hour with a founder. We tell you straight whether a machine fixes your problem, what it would cost, and what it would return.
