real-world agricultural performance.
For manufacturers, merchants, researchers, and supply-chain operators.
Four ways companies engage with Proof commercially. The contributor side remains free, forever, by contract. Companies pay for analytical depth, attestation marks, infrastructure integration, and institutional partnerships. The commercial layer sits above the data, never inside it.
"Proof does not sell the dataset. Proof sells the trust and infrastructure that make the dataset decision-grade."
Four commercial layers, each with a different shape.
Each engagement type has a different buyer, different use case, and different first step. Read across to understand which fits, then get in touch with a brief note on the shape of what you have in mind.
Proof Recorded and Proof Attested marks
For manufacturers, assurance schemes, and product certifiers who want to point at genuine independent evidence. The mark is backed by the underlying Proof Records, not by Proof vouching for the product.
A biostimulant manufacturer applies the Proof Attested mark to a product page. The mark links to the specific records that attest to the product's performance, independently recorded on working farms.
Identify the claim you want to attest. We check which records support it, and whether you qualify to apply the mark per-use or via annual licence.
Company-grade analytics and cohort queries
For distributors, merchants, and food companies who need to understand farm-level performance at scale. Ad-hoc filters, cohort dashboards, time-series, exports, and multi-variable queries. Paid seat or cohort licence.
A major merchant builds a seasonal view of variety performance across regions and soil types to inform forward-buying decisions. Exports feed directly into their own trading models.
Tell us the question you want to answer and the geographic or crop scope. We scope a seat or cohort licence that fits the use case.
API access and embedded attestation
For supply-chain operators and downstream systems that need Proof records as inputs into their own workflows. Grain trade integration, embedded attestation, structured API access. Priced by scope and volume.
A grain trader embeds Proof-attested records into their passport workflow. Buyers see the attested evidence chain alongside the load details, without leaving the trader's platform.
Specify the system you want to integrate with. We scope the API access level, volume, and embedded attestation pattern.
Formal partnerships and cohort studies
For research bodies, levy organisations, and institutions running funded cohort studies. Founding Data Partnerships are grant-funded, collaborative, and structurally important to Proof's mission. Not a primary revenue stream, but a core commitment.
A levy body commissions a cohort study on blackgrass population trajectories across the East Midlands. Proof provides structured study design, recruitment support, and the underlying records.
Share the research question, cohort scope, and funding structure. We discuss methodology, data access, and attribution.
What's on the table. What isn't.
Commercial engagement funds the platform. It does not shape the records. This separation is a selling point, not a caveat. A dataset that could be bought would not be worth buying access to.
Access to trust infrastructure, analytics depth, and attestation marks backed by real records.
Favourable records, editorial influence over record visibility, data about identified individual contributors, or the ability to suppress negative findings.
Nothing. Free, forever, by contract. The commitment survives change of control.
Immutability at the database layer. No contributor record can be edited, suppressed, or deleted, including by Proof itself.
You don't trust Proof. You trust the process Proof makes visible.
